Default Common instruments on small aircraft%

The FAA has also ruled that they cannot make an assumption that logged time is of any value.

The ruling also said, “We prefer not to rule” on whether logging time is of any value, but not a problem, it said, if you don’t log the time.


It does not follow from this that they cannot make an assumption that
the logged time is of any value. They "preferred not to rule", which
leaves the door open for them to rule any way they want in the future.
In fact, they =deliberately= left the door open by not making a ruling
that would be seen as outrageously silly, or being forced to make the
opposite ruling and be held to it as precedent. Therefore I conclude
that the FAA =will= look at logging time as compensation whenever it
thinks it can get away with it.

However, I don’t think there’s a single NTSB case where logging time alone was compensatory in your own airplane.


What about renters and flying club members? The observation above is of
little comfort.

Conceptually, the idea of a pax providing an opportunity to spend your own money and calling it compensatory as to the mere opportunity I think is absurd.


I agree, which is why I think the FAA has it =so= wrong.
