Night currency question

[sdflyer]

Here is scenario: I have a student who want to fly at night. I'm currently passed my 90 days of night currency. Can I legally give student instruction at night? Does it matter if student is pre-solo or licences pilot?

Thanks

You are giving instruction? You're exempt from the night currency requirements as your student is not considered a passenger. There is a General Counsel letter floating around somewhere stating as such.

Okay. If the student is PIC how can he carry a passenger without being night current?

The student is not PIC, the instructor is. The student is a student, not a passenger.

The reg only says 'no passengers'

It takes like what 30 minutes to do 3 stops to a full stop to become night current. Why not just become night current?

And even if it was rated (or sport) pilot getting instruction the instructor isn't considered a passenger either. There are no passengers on an instructional flight. (assuming there are only 2 people in the plane)

Because CFI's are naturally cheap people

According to the Chief Counsel, neither an instructor nor the instructor's trainee are considered passengers with respect to each other during an instructional flight, so 61.57 (a) and (b) do not apply. See the Kortokrax interpretation.
