Sitting in the Right Hand Seat as P1.
So it would be legal for my passenger to land the aeroplane?
I am not an instructor.

So if this is the case is it acceptable to have differences training from pilots who are not FIs? EG tailwheel.
However, there is no such requirement for, for instance, aerobatics. So legally speaking anybody can teach you aerobatics, even if that person doesn't hold a (legal/current) PPL.
(Whether that's a wise idea is another matter altogether, and it looks like this is one of the areas that's going to change under EASA. But that's a different discussion.)

I think you raise the same somewhat circular debate.
You are required to have an instructor's sign off for any differences - note instructor not examiner - that much is certain.
Could you handle the controls to gain some tail wheel experience under the supervision of a PPL who is not formally instructing you. Who knows and maybe who cares. Is he instructing you or isnt he - what would his insurance company think if they knew. The fact is he is in command and is responsible if anything goes wrong and he most certainly cannot be paid. You would probably find if you were friends with such a PPL you would become very good at tail wheel flying so when you presented yourself to an instructor for an hour of difference training and a sign off you breeze through.

BillieBob and mad_jock, many thanks - ten years of flying and I never knew that (or began to think about it in enough detail).
Of course I could have checked the ANO, but that requires effort.
