I'm a commercial pilot and have been asked by several people if I could
bring things over for them.... tires for a business, etc....
you know, just stuff.....
I cant find anything in the regs about freight or cargo ops for commercial
pilots, just operators.....

Thanks, Mark

well, it depends on what you call "bring things over" (need more
information). If you operate a schedualed service then you would be
"holding yourself out" for hire and then you would be operating under
a different FAR. However, if this service is non-regular and you don't
provide the airplane, then you might be able to do this. (make sure
you seperate yourself from the airplane. As in, the person who "hired"
you writes one check for the airplane and one check for your time) I
would suggest (strongly suggest!!) that you contact your local FSDO
and let them know what you want to do, they will be willing to work
with you and let you know what you need to do to make this legal.

The reason you can't find this under the "normal" FARs is a Commercial
pilot is limited in what they can do (mainly Flight instruction (if
CFI), banner towing, crop dusting, sight seeing to name a few). They
don't want some yahoo who just got his Commercial license setting up
his own airline. That's why they have the 121 section of the regs.
Oh, for the most part the FAA don't care if your carrying Tires,
Apples or People. Just make sure your "stuff" is legal. ;-)
