Might I suggest you try attaching something once in a while to indicate
you mean humor. It's allowed in the response you know......Usenet
protocol and all that :-)) See what I mean? Doesn't hurt a bit!!


I don't use smilies. If you have to tell your audience when to laugh your
humor has missed the mark.

Forget it.

Its not considerd flying for hire. That is why you only need a class 3
medical. I suspect that the reason you need a commercial certificate is
because the CFI ticket gives you the priv of training commercial
applicants. I believe the new sport pilot CFI ticket does not require a
commercial but also does not allow you to train commercial apps.

It is if you're being paid.

Not the situation originally discussed, but suppose a non-pilot (who
perhaps reads a lot and plays flight sim) acts as an instructor for a
pilot who wants to learn something about flying from him. What that
might be I will leave to your imagination. The pilot is current and
rated in the aircraft, and acts as PIC. The passenger is being paid to
instruct, the instruction is not logged.

Is the non-pilot paid instructor "flying for hire"?

Yup.

Technically, he's being being paid to teach. He only needs a class 3
medical.

But in reality he's flying for hire.

Even when I am being paid, its not commercial. At least in the sense
the the FAA does not require me to told a class 2 medical. The FAA FAQ
said that they consider CFIs as being paid to teach not to fly. Perhaps
we're talking semantics.

Actually no. Although the "fly for hire" has clouded the issue
somewhat, one reason that a commercial is required has nothing to do
with compensation.
