Every FSDO seems to interpret it differently, however recent the
information. You can count the hours towards a rating. I am unsure of the "remuneration" in dollars. But now the insurance companies get involved. The standard answer seems to be, that if you are "selling rides" to the general public, you best carry "commercial" insurance on the gliders and the tow, and the insurance company will (may) require a Commercial rated tow pilot and a Commercial rated glider pilot. "Most" club insurance is not "commercial" and only covers operations with "club members", visiting glider pilots bringing their own gliders to the field will need to become "members according to the club by-laws" to gain tows. Otherwise the "club" could be accused of "selling tows" and the insurance would be null and void. The same could be said of visiting pilots "renting club gliders". The "add-on" for commercial operations to a clubs insurance policy was almost 20% higher for us, plus the stipulation that all tow pilots used for "rides" or towing non club gliders have a commercial ASEL rating. For the possible benefit gained it was not worth it to us to pursue commercial coverage. BT wrote in message ups.com... As for towpilots. Private pilots are allowed to tow, however they cannot log the time toward a rating and cannot get paid. yea you got any regulatory guidance to back that one up or is it just an OWT thats been passed down through the generations? |
