If you are "committing to friends and family to transport them", and
that is the only reason for the flight, you are now an "air taxi". Just
because I have a Private Pilot Certificate doesn't mean I can be a "taxi
service" for my friends and family and transport them around where ever
they want to go when they want to go.

So what you are saying is that if I give my sister a ride to LGA so she can
catch a commercial flight, I am considered a Taxi even if I don't ask for
compensation? Will the government require me to have a Hack License and a
Medallion?

Does that mean I can use the Taxi lanes instead of the Passenger Pick Up/Drop
off lanes?
