I have a few questions/comments myself of Skidder ...

1. Are you msxmaniac in drag?

2. We don't call people who sit in the left front seat "flyers". Nobody
from the greenest student up calls them that.

3. were we're

4. Dual controls do NOT imply full control of the aircraft. One person or
the other has full control, and we call that person Pilot In Command. The
other person is called a passenger. I could be flying with Hoover or
Yeager, and if it is MY plane and I'M the PIC, they are passengers.

5. People in this NG that have more hours flying and instructing in aircraft
than you have in bed have given you a correct answer that you apparently are
unwilling to accept. Deal with it.

6. Nothing in the regs is clear. They were written by lawyers specifically
so that they could be "bent" to fit the occasion as suits the FAA. Deal
with it. The scenario that you present, however, is crystal clear.

Ok, first things first, I am not a troll, and this is a very legitimate
question that could be applicable to lots of flyers.

Second, were all over the place here. MEIs, seaplanes, instructor without
medicals, you can't be PIC unless you are current (who's pic when you do
your
currency work), ......sheesh guys let's keep our eyes on the ball.

You have two pilots, dual controls, both have full control of the
aircraft.
To simplify more, let's say they both have current medicals, and have
logged
at least 100 hours in this specific aircraft in the past. It's just been
95
days since each have flown.

What in the regs states that, a pilot with a full set of controls in front
of
him, must be considered a passenger, just because someone else is flying
the
plane.

It's a fair question, and I can't find a clear answer in the regs. But I'm
not a book worm either. I was just hoping there was enough experience
*with
the regs* somewhere in this group, to locate a definitive answer.
