I'm usually without knowledge when it comes to the FAR's. I do know this much though. If you are cleared by an instructor for solo in your insured plane you had better check with you insurance company if it's O.K. That includes a designee or FAA for a check ride in the insured aircraft. The Insurance company usually will require the owner to have a certain amount of time in type with a qualified instructor before solo. The big bopper on the whole matter of you as pilot and owner of your aircraft is your insurance company.Usually they want full info on your time in type & everything else including BiAn and MD stuff. So If you're just talking about flying solo in any aircraft that's around= whose the owner that's going to let you do that? Am I missing something? When you own and fly your plane (by the way you can be the owner of an aircraft yet may not know how to even fly anything even a kite). For example, The owner of a flight school or Air Transport service may not care to ever fly, they are the operators. I could go on and on with this one too. What it all boils down to is the Insurance company and us as owners. Just because you flew a jet does not mean you can own and fly a Cub. Not without Check it out for insurance purposes Prof. Ed
