The LODA that I obtained for my plane is not a model of clarity -- in part because the FAA apparently uses the same form for aircraft owners that it uses for CFIs.
But that said, as I read it, my CFI friend can't teach a pinch hitter course to my girlfriend in my plane -- even if the CFI also has the required LODA, and even if he doesn't charge for the service. The LODA apparently applies only to me, the owner/operator. Apparently the owner/operator (if it's a corporation, for example?) can have a "delegate," but that "delegate" still has to be the person listed by name in the LODA.
Anyone disagree?
Assuming I've got this right, and I'm not sure I do, allow me to point out that this situation is highly annoying and deeply, deeply stupid.
