“How to be a good Safety Pilot”
  • What do the FAR/AIM have to say? 14 CFR 91.109
  • When can an average Private Pilot License not be an Safety Pilot?
  • What items are worth considering and discussing with the Pilot In Command to ensure a safe/successful flight?
  • What should the Pilot In Command and Safety Pilot discuss before they fire up the engine?
  • How does Safety Pilot time get entered into the Safety Pilot’s logbook?
  • What differences between Safety Pilot and instructor?
  • What are the “must do” items the Safety Pilot should be doing? What are the extras?
  • Under what conditions should the Safety Pilot do more than just point out something to the Pilot In Command?
  • How did BasicMed change the definition of who could be Safety Pilot?
  • Should the Safety Pilot be willing to pay his pro-rata share for aircraft rental?
  • The topic is one that is both easy to understand and easy to misunderstand. And sometimes there is lots of misinformation being repeated on the interwebz.

    Which is why I think a discussion with your podcast crew would be a good topic.
