Narrative:

I am an instructor pilot with a large airline training center located at goodyear, az. I am also without a current medical because of a heart attack suffered during 1/92. After my recovery I have only flown with certified pilots. During the early part of 11/92 I was approached by my 141 chief instructor and 141 assistant chief instructor stating that they had a fully qualified pilot for me to work with and asked if I would fly with this pilot while he went through a 141 syllabus. I understood 'fully qualified' to mean completely current. After a number of flts I discovered that this pilot did not have a current biennial flight review or a complex aircraft sign off. During this time all of these flts were conducted without a fully qualified PIC and therefore in violation of the far's.

Narrative: I AM AN INSTRUCTOR PLT WITH A LARGE AIRLINE TRAINING CTR LOCATED AT GOODYEAR, AZ. I AM ALSO WITHOUT A CURRENT MEDICAL BECAUSE OF A HEART ATTACK SUFFERED DURING 1/92. AFTER MY RECOVERY I HAVE ONLY FLOWN WITH CERTIFIED PLTS. DURING THE EARLY PART OF 11/92 I WAS APCHED BY MY 141 CHIEF INSTRUCTOR AND 141 ASSISTANT CHIEF INSTRUCTOR STATING THAT THEY HAD A FULLY QUALIFIED PLT FOR ME TO WORK WITH AND ASKED IF I WOULD FLY WITH THIS PLT WHILE HE WENT THROUGH A 141 SYLLABUS. I UNDERSTOOD 'FULLY QUALIFIED' TO MEAN COMPLETELY CURRENT. AFTER A NUMBER OF FLTS I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PLT DID NOT HAVE A CURRENT BIENNIAL FLT REVIEW OR A COMPLEX ACFT SIGN OFF. DURING THIS TIME ALL OF THESE FLTS WERE CONDUCTED WITHOUT A FULLY QUALIFIED PIC AND THEREFORE IN VIOLATION OF THE FAR'S.
