Narrative:
I was asked to fly with a member of a flying climb. We were to practice takeoff and lndgs. On the first landing the climb member damaged the propeller. I was informed that he did not have a medical and that he needed an instructor to fly with him for insurance reasons. Since he did not have a medical I was considered PIC although I was not fully aware of the situation. To prevent this from happening again, I will ask to see a current medical and appropriate certificate before flying with unfamiliar people.

Narrative: I WAS ASKED TO FLY WITH A MEMBER OF A FLYING CLB. WE WERE TO PRACTICE TKOF AND LNDGS. ON THE FIRST LNDG THE CLB MEMBER DAMAGED THE PROP. I WAS INFORMED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE A MEDICAL AND THAT HE NEEDED AN INSTRUCTOR TO FLY WITH HIM FOR INSURANCE REASONS. SINCE HE DID NOT HAVE A MEDICAL I WAS CONSIDERED PIC ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT FULLY AWARE OF THE SIT. TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, I WILL ASK TO SEE A CURRENT MEDICAL AND APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATE BEFORE FLYING WITH UNFAMILIAR PEOPLE.
