Hi guys,

I have a friend who is interested in learning how to fly. I'd like to let her fly left seat, problem is, I am not a CFI (yet...that is about a year away). Would letting her sit in the left seat be legal?...I tried to search the FARs, and either I'm blind or there is nothing about it.

And by the way, as I am a commercial pilot in training, I have done a few right seat flights with an instructor in anticipation of a future CFI.

Thanks
