My friend is in the process of buying a new to him RV6A. He used to own an RV6 but has never flown a 6A. Due to a change in underwriter or something, the insurance company is requiring 5 hours of dual before it will cover him.
I've never flown an RV, but due to several thousand hours in the big book, including a ton of instruction given, he's telling me that he can get me covered with a simple checkout from the current owner (also a CFII), with the goal of me giving him the 5 hours of dual on the way home from picking it up.
I'm lukewarm to the whole idea, but before I decide one way or the other, I need to understand my privileges and limitations in this scenario.
I've got a call in to EAA to clarify this, but in the mean time I though I'd throw it out here;
Once the insurance company blesses me, can I give this guy dual instruction in his airplane without any other exemption? To I need any sort of minimum time in type?
Not saying it's a good idea, just want to know what the legalities are.
