Expermental Aircraft used for Instruction
Asked by: Danny D. Creech 12015 views Flight Instructor, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
I have a student who just bought (he is not the builder) a Zenith CH-701 STOL aircraft (Experimental and falls into the LSA category). I am also a CH-701 owner with many hours in one and therefor qualified in this aircraft.
I have given instruction in an experimental to pilots who own their aircraft (transition training). But I have never given primary training in an experimental.
My question is, can I give this student pilot primary training, sign him off for solo flights, and even sign him off for his check ride in this aircraft???
My guess is yes but I am hoping some of my fellow CFIs knows the answer to this question and can provide me with some FARs which states this.
Thanks for your help,
Danny Creech
