Asking here because I no longer have a Reddit account: if a safety pilot is a required crew member and one or both pilots are not night current, is it legal to fly after the end of civil twilight?
I could argue it isn’t because there are phases of flight where no safety pilot is required (taking off and landing) and therefore they are a passenger. Is that a correct interpretation of the regs?
This is a good interpretation from the FAA for that situation: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/regulations/interpretations/data/interps/2014/Schaffner_2014_Legal_Interpretation.pdf
Thanks, I don’t do much GA so on the rare occasion that I do I’m always looking up stuff like this.
