Following on from a discussion I had with a friend the other day...
Who can check out a new member to a group? On the assumption that the new member is suitably qualified with appropriate difference training etc, then is there any requirement for the person doing the checking out/type familiarisation to be an instructor? One could argue that a longstanding member of the group who is intimately familiar with the aircraft would be better placed to introduce the new pilot to the aircraft.
Obviously if there is an official difference to be trained then it has to be an instructor, but that's not the question I'm pondering.
