Commercial permits flying for heir (crop dusting, photo, banner tow, ...), but not pax. Different here and I rather suspect there. I'm surprised to hear it's different in NZ. A Commercial permits you to fly for hire or reward. Carrying cargo, ag chemicals or pax. Flying pax beyond 25 miles from point of departure is Part 135 or Part 121 here. Okay these are the Regs as they pertain to PPL's here. Going to the Advisory circulars will lead you to the Regs as they pertain to CPLs http://www.caa.govt.nz/Advisory_Circulars/AC061_3.pdf |

All that said, I think one would have to be mad to fly with a private pilot whom one doesn't know. There are some lunatics out there, and some of them won't live to build up many hours. Exactly so, which is why I hope the FAA prevails on this issue. The last thing GA needs is some idiot private pilot killing a "paying" passenger and another outcry against dangerous, reckless pilots and their little planes. -- The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry.

And then there was all that BS about eyesight having to be 8/8 in order to get a CPL.. And thats why I didn't pursue a career in aviation Didn't want to be a 1000 hour PPL Nowadays in nearly every aircrew some-ones wearing corrective lenses. It seems almost inevitable, unless you want to force most aircrew to retire in their early forties. The human eye just hasn't evolved to be long lasting, and its ability to adjust from near field to far field focus deteriorates in a way that can almost be calibrated in years of age. Sylvia. |
