Dec 19, 2023 at 18:15 comment added Pilothead Similar to Monty's comment: Is your airplane ownership share through the club? Bylaws would tell what you can do with your share. Is your instructor friend employed by the club? The employment contract would tell what he can do outside his employment.

Dec 19, 2023 at 0:30 comment added Monty Wild Does the plane belong to the club and is it for training use only? Is your former instructor employed solely by the club and was he 'on the clock'? Only if one of these is true should the club have say over this.
Dec 18, 2023 at 21:59 comment added John K I think you just have to confirm with the instructor that he's not "on duty" when flying with you, will not be logging it, and you will log it as P1. That's it that's all. In the glider club world, we avoid this problem because A: you fly with all of the club instructors, whomever's on duty, and B: the instructor works for free anyway in a non-profit club.
Dec 18, 2023 at 21:54 comment added Chris If you're just two friends having a pleasure flight, why are you buying him lunch? If you took me on a pleasure flight I think buying lunch for you would be the least I could do.

Dec 18, 2023 at 15:05 comment added Cloud @MickWaites I am being intentionally ambiguous, I don't want to talk specific clubs :)

Dec 18, 2023 at 14:34 comment added Michael Hall I think this can only be answered by reference to the specific bylaws of your flying club. (Is the club organized as a business, or non profit? Has the club owner referenced terms of a contract you agreed to? How is the "club" any different from just renting?)
Dec 18, 2023 at 12:47 comment added Mick Waites @Cloud As I also trained in the 'far North' of the UK (well, "far" from a point of view of Londoners, otherwise knows as North East England), I'm curious if our paths may have crosses as there's aren't too many flying schools (or airfields) in that part of the country. I suspect you are avoiding naming and shaming, though.
Dec 18, 2023 at 11:39 comment added Jamiec Just thought of the one question I should have asked before answering: When this person is our pleasure flying with you, are they "on the clock" (ie employed by) the club? Or is this in their spare time? I think you probably know where I'm going with this...
Dec 18, 2023 at 11:22 comment added Jamiec The whole "Not logging P1 time if there's an instructor on board" I wouldn't worry about. If you're the sole manipulator of the controls, sitting in the LH seat, and your licensed to fly that aircraft, you're P1. Just make sure the guy sitting next to you agrees.
