All that matters is whether someone is paying
someone else for a person to occupy a seat or for freight to occupy a
seat.

The second prohibition is quite separate. It says that the private pilot
cannot receive compensation for acting as pilot.

The issue is *not* that flying for free is compensation, but

That some pilots get paid for ferry flights doesn't make it illegal for a

So. Someone else could pay all the costs of a flight as long as you
were solo. If they wanted to come along, it would then be against
the rules.

Glad I don't make or enforce the rules...

Is the load you're prohibed to carry restricted to passengers, freight,
gliders, parachutists, etc, or can it relate to the plane itself?
