as a student pilot who busts you and who questions you how do they find out
ect. "John Harper" wrote in message news:1065653712.292352@sj-nntpcache-5... But there's also the question of what constitutes compensation. I remember reading about a case where someone was busted because even though they didn't take any money, the passenger was an established customer of their business and it was argued that the compensation was expectation of future business. Suppose I fly my boss somewhere, it could be argued that the compensation is expectation of a pay-rise (fat chance) or other job-related benefits John "John Galban" wrote in message om... "Roger Long" om wrote in message . .. The FAA is looking for two things when considering the question of whether a private pilot was carrying a passenger(s) legitimately. One is evidence that the passenger is incidentally aboard on a flight that was going to take place anyway. Second is that the pilot and passenger have a shared interest in the objective of the flight. Disagree. The above would be true if limited to flights where some form of compensation (like cost sharing) was involved. Commonality of purporse only comes into effect in determining whether the compensation was allowed under the rules. No compensation, no question. In the case of co-ownership, such as in a partnership or flying club (with stock), would there not be a presumption of shared interest? For example: Strictly speaking, if a friend not involved with your aircraft said. "I need to go to Podunk on Saturday, how about flying me up there?", the flight would be questionable if you had no prior intent or independent reason to fly there. Only if you were compensated by the friend. If you paid all costs associated with the flight, it's perfectly legal. snip Anyone care to predict what the FAA would (or should) say? Assume costs shared properly according to seat occupancy. Are we assuming this in all examples? If so, forget what I said above. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |
