100 Hour Inspections

You own the airplane and have hired a pilot/CFI. This is
not a "for hire "operation. However if you allow the CFI to
sell instruction to other people in your airplane you need
the 100 inspections.

Also, renting an airplane to even a student pilot is not a
"for hire" operation and the airplane does not need the 100
inspection.

|I was reading some FARs. Specifically, 91.409 section (b).

| "(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section,
no person may
| operate an aircraft carrying any person (other than a
crewmember) for hire,
| and no person may give flight instruction for hire in an
aircraft which that
| person provides, unless within the preceding 100 hours of
time in service the
| aircraft has received an annual or 100-hour inspection and
been approved for
| return to service in accordance with part 43 of this
chapter or has received

certificate in accordance

be exceeded by not

the inspection can

inspection can be

time in service."

fly 100+ hours by

IPC or a BFR. Have

or another annual
