During flight training a student may of course fly solo when authorised and whilst under the supervision of an appropriate FI. At that stage the student doesn't hold a license, of course.

Once he has passed his test then he enters an odd (and hopefully fairly short) period in which he still does not hold a license (because the CAA hasn't actually issued him one yet) but he may still fly as a student, solo only and when authorised and supervised by an FI. In other words, he can continue to fly in this period as if he were still a student (even though he has actually completed his training and passed his test and is on the brink of holding a license). During that time he cannot, of course, carry passengers.


Yes, except for one thing...





It's licence, not license (unless FAA of course). :D

I was going to let that fake news go, lobstaboy.

Just goes to show that instructors can also miss the detail. :wink:

Thank you. :thumleft:

It may be worth editing your post to prevent confusion on the Student Forum.


Fair point. I should have read what you wrote more carefully. My apologies.
