To all in the group!
I did the unforgivable mistake last night of posting after a party....
Someone was probably insulted by my attempts at sarcasm (war on terror
etc...)
So here goes:
I will never drink & post

There....
Apologise to anyone offended.

All this seems like big BS!
Are you really this concerned with this in the US?????
Surely, war on terror is more important....?
hehe....
Seriously.
I am a hobby pilot. I do not intend ever to consider a CFI rating.
However, I log all my hours.
OK, say I'm really broke.
Honestly, I can't afford to fly 5 minutes, but a friend really wants a
short
hop over town.
He says, he'll pay the 30 dollars or whatever it costs.
We do it, and nobody cares.
So what??????
Now, if i do this ever once in a while, and 15 years down the line, I
figure
i don't wanna be a musician anymore, but a full time parachute jump
pilot....
OK, I get my CFI rating.
Would I have to confess to God for this, or take 40 beatings of the FAA
whip?
It doesn't make sense.
Isn't the idea that we should all be safe up there???
I'd say that it's far better that some geezer pay my 30 bucks and I get my
30 minutes of flying now and then rather then making the sky unsafe to all
the paying passengers of airliners caose I am not allowed to fly without
spending my own money.
Oh well, maybe US is different.....or I'm probably ignorant...(or too
drunk...hehe)
Here in my country we probably have the same rules.
However, most pilots bend them in this regard, but in my opinion, this
makes
a safer sky.
This is one rule bent that actually makes it way safer to do this! Letting
someone else pay for you fyling them around, therefore beeing a better
pilot.
This must be the goal for all of us right?
Anyone who honestly thinks this is wrong, please convince me.
And please, no BS about commercial planes loosing gigs. Which commercial
firms would even start up their planes for 30 bucks???

The FAA has said in the past that flying for free is compensation and
requires a commercial. For CFIs its very easy since we already have a
commercial, we just need to keep up our class 2 medical. Most CFIs do
because it allows you to do the occasional local sight seeing pax
too.

What if you did the "rescue" flight but you DID NOT log the hours?
Would that count? Or would you get in trouble for some OTHER rule
violation for
not logging some hours you actually flew?
take care
Its not the logging its the enjoying. You would have to prove that you
did not enjoy the flight, therefore its not compensation.
