Default Remember to tip your ... pilot?

Is it customary for passengers to tip their charter or sightseeing pilot?


Some do, some don't. The passengers who tip usually tip $100 for a charter
flight. They also usually draw the company's most experienced pilots.



I only got tipped one time on a photo flight. The passenger needed to shoot a
property directly adjacent to the runway but ATC refused permission to fly by
until I asked if somebody could look at my landing gear for me as I came by. I
got two slow passes out of it.
