Fred.. the big answer would depend on your company's travel reimbursement
policy.. xx cents per mile for personal auto or rental car, xxx cents per
mile for personal air travel. Many company's do not want their people flying
:"on company business" unless they are commercial rated and specifically
covered/approved by their company.

What you need to be careful of, is the.. "I'm going anyway.. but Chuck in
Finance needs to go so there is an empty seat.".. then you or chuck could be
violating the company policy and in the event of an accident.. yours and
Chucks heirs get nothing.

as far as FARs.. AOPA would have the best answer, but as long as it's "just
you", you are not on company time (payroll, not flying for hire) when your
traveling, and you get reimbursed at xxx cents per mile for travel.. as long
as that does not exceed the cost of the rental you should be ok.

But as with anything else in aviation.. there are many opinions.. and you
can call the local Flight Standards Office.. talk to 3 different people and
get 4 different answers..

Hello All,

I know that this topic has been discussed several times and that the
answers
are pretty common. I just want to ensure in my particular idea if I
understand the facts.

For my civilian employment I am a computer compliance specialist. There
are
occasions that I need to go to our corporate office a few states away and
others go too. Typically, if there are enough going they charter a King
Air
to take us. However, it is more likely than not that not enough go to get
a
Charter. If I were to fly with a PP-ASEL, could I be reimbursed for the
rental cost? Further, if I were to take my own airplane, could I recover
the
fuel cost?

I think that I could do either of the above. I am not for hire to be a
pilot. Regardless if I use a plane or not, I am still going.

What are your opinions again?

This would be so much easier if it were a helicopter because I have a
commercial and an IR in them.

Thanks,
Frederick Wilson
