    Pax certification?

    in Student Pilot & Further Learning

    CAR 228 - When is an aircraft "in flight"?I raise that question in relation to the discussion of the King Air fatal we have been discussing in another thread.

    A dictionary definition of when an aircraft is actually "in flight", would describe that point as when the aircraft was actually off the ground, and being supported only by the air its moving through.However, the FAA definition of "flight time" is, "(Pilot) time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight, and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing".

     

    I think you would need a legal opinion, as to whether a (non-flying) pax who manipulated an aircraft control whilst the aircraft was being prepared for flight, is actually in breach of CAR 228. Personally, I would suggest they are.

    If you go onto the actual consolidated regulations page (http://www5.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_reg/car1988263/s228.html) and flick through them a bit, they also detail who can taxi, the definition of an aircraft in flight etc. appears to me that if it was sitting on the ground not moving and a passenger moved the control column, then they aren't breaking any laws

    I can go with that except for the hypothetical case of the pilot being physically incapacitated. Is the unqualified passenger then supposed to just say a prayer and wait to die? I’ve always believed that, wives in particular, should at least be able to put an aeroplane down safely.

    I think they'd be a bit more lenient in that situation

    Hi all,

     

    I am doing my Raaus checkride tomorrow for my license (yay!) and am wanting to get my pax certification just after that. A few questions I have are:

     

    1. Is it 10 more hours AFTER you get your license or just 10 ours total solo?

     

    2. what happens on the checkride for the pax certification?

     

    3. In GA, you can let the passenger fly the plane (but they cannot log it as hours), is this the case with raaus as well?

     

    Cheers,
