Freelance CFIs and plane rentals??

The airplane is required to have 100 hour inspections if used for
rental.

Thought we had killed this myth a long time ago.

Dear Mr. Rackers:

This is in reply to your request of May 1, 1984, that we render an
opinion regarding the applicability of the 100-hour inspections
requirement of Section 91.169(b) of the Federal Aviation Regulations
to rental aircraft.

Section 91.169(b) of the Federal Aviation Regulations provides that,
except as noted in Section 91.169(c), a person may not operate an
aircraft carrying any person, other than a crewmember, for hire, and
may not give flight instruction for hire in an aircraft which that
person provides unless, within the previous 100 hours of time in
service, the aircraft has received either an annual or a 100-hour
inspection
..
If a person merely leases or rents an aircraft to another person and
does not provide the pilot, that aircraft is not required by Section
91.169(b) of the Federal Aviation Regulations to have a 100-hour
inspection. As noted above, the 100-hour inspection is required only
when the aircraft is carrying a person for hire, or when a person is
providing flight instruction for hire, in their own aircraft.

If there are any questions, please advise us.

Sincerely,
/s/
Joseph T. Brennan
Associate Regional Counsel.

The interesting thing about that Greg, is that is defies common sense by
changing a required safety inspection period based only upon whose name is
on the title - but then it is the FAA, right?

It doesn't have anything to do with who's name on the title. The rule says when
carrying passengers for hire or when the instructor provides the aircraft. If the
plane is rented without pilot, then it is neither of the above. Where in the rule or
the FAA interp that was posted here did you determine that the name on the title
had anything to do with it.
