Hi all,
Can a private pilot, with current medical and appropriate currency in make and model, act as a safety pilot for a flight in visual conditions?
The goal of the flight is instrument currency for PIC (under the hood) and the flight is VFR only.
Here is the kicker:
The aircraft is RV8 and does not have rudder pedals or throttle in the back seat. Thus the safety pilot can only control pitch and roll from the back seat (which should be enough for preventing collisions, deviations etc.).
