If the owner of the plane has a waiver and allowed someone without a waiver fly his turbine plane why is the owner not in violation of the turbine rules.
He is.
This is a case where waiver pilots might show how the rules are complied with by moving to suspend the plane owners waiver.
The AMA has already been informed of the issue. However, until such time as the new rules are in place, I imagine that the AMA's reticence to revoke waivers due to lack of proper "process" will remain.
P. S.- This assumes there was no buddy box type flying....
Given that buddy-box training is not permitted without a waiver until such time as the new rules are put in place, the use of a buddy-box would have been irrelevant even if one had been used in this case.
