"Mxsmanic" wrote If you have understanding passengers, fine. If they are going to a wedding or job interview, though, this is a serious problem. Again you are inferring that the Private Pilot can ignore FAR Part 91 and FAR 61.113 when they want to help out friends. If a friend comes to me and says "I have a wedding or job interview to go to, could you fly me there?", this would most likely be considered a violation of 61.113, and would be illegal for a Private Pilot to do. That's absurd. Someone asking to be flown somewhere is in no way a violation of the FARs. If it were, most GA pilots would be in violation almost every time they fly. Case in point - you said in a previous post: " I had a coworker who wanted to go have lunch at PWT (Bremerton National) on a Saturday morning." So by your own interpretation, *you* are in violation of FAR 61.113. In order for a violation to occur, there has to be compensation (which may or may not be monetary) which the above situations, as described, do not include. Not at all. You could have commitments to friends or relatives to transport them here or there, with no money involved. FAA could still consider this as flying for compensation, which is prohibited under Part 91 and FAR 61.113. FAA has said that compensation doesn't have to be monetary in nature to violate FAR 61.113. Again - in his scenario, no compensation is described, so it is perfectly legal. The word "commitment" does not inherently imply compensation. A commitment is merely an obligation to an agreement. |
