"Rescue" flight, PPL

Anyone who honestly thinks this is wrong, please convince me.


I think everyone here more or less agrees with you but the point of this
discussion is what the actual rules say and when the FAA might go after
someone for bending them.

So in other words, if you're just an average guy with a PPL, have no
intention of going for a commercial rating (or even an instrument ticket,
since the aircraft you usually fly isn't equipped for such), and have spent
(and intend to spend) your flying time just buzzing around, doing
aerobatics, visiting friends, taking trips to fly-ins, and buying expensive
hamburgers, then they won't really care?
