So question for the larger group - how do you assess the abilities of a potentially low-time pilot to fly a family member around in a Cessna 172?
The situation isn't quite as generic as that perhaps - my son is in a CAP squadron and has the opportunity to go for an "O-flight". One of the squadrons pilots was just not someone I'd feel comfortable flying with, let alone my son, after talking with him on-and-off over the course of the last year. I've not met this other pilot however and my son *really* wants to go. I'll have 20 minutes to meet the individual and in which to make a go/no-go decision.
I'm not exactly Chuck Jagger, but I far exceed the flight experience required to be a CAP mission pilot which are pretty light at 200hrs PIC, 50 X/C.
Anyone else been in a similar situation? Anyone have any thoughts to share?
