Just had a question regarding if during training for a PPL, once you have gone solo, can you take someone up with you?

What would be the risk to flight safety of allowing examiners (as road driving test examiners can) to issue a "temporary licence"?

My school was not particularly supportive of back seaters, save for the conversion to PA28 from 152 when you need to experience the additional weight. It is a distraction and more of a bimble than a lesson. That said, a student listening in on a student could be helpful.

It may be worth pointing out you can't actually fly (even on your own) post test, under your own licence until it is in one's greasy mits?

As the good Mr Trump would say, that is Fake News, I'm afraid! Since time immemorial students who have passed their test have been allowed to fly solo and as a student in the period between passing their test and receiving their licence.
