I don't believe so, I think in that situation if it's instruction both pilots are considered required Crew members.

I had two instructors sign me off for solo due to switching schools, first one gave me no restriction said if i can trust you in the plane alone I trust you not to be stupid. Second one was too restictive and had to change them so i could go on xc's. Something like 5k ceilings and 10 knot winds...

***bad situation for him. Sad situation for others

The one I was looking at had 1509 smoh. What I saw was a 2400tbo. Please correct me if that tbo is wrong

It would be used for time building. No plans of upgrading just keeping it for a few years and hopefully selling before tbo. I figure if I can get at least 150 hours out of it I break even on rental cost. That doesn't include the fixed cost but its mine when I want to fly

I believe 172's are rated for spins in both the normal and utility category.

So then would you recommend keeping the doors closed in a Cessna as well? I can't imagine it's that hard to kick out a window
