Commercial rating?

You need to read Parts 119 and 135 to see what is required and what is
exempted.

"Holding out" means indicating to the public at large that you are in the
business of providing air transportation...the FAA has said that merely
putting a notice on a bulletin board is holding out. The rationale is that
the uninformed public needs some assurance that the person they are flying
with has met standards higher than those required of a private pilot, that
his/her plane is maintained to a higher standard than a simple annual
inspection, and that his/her physical condition is checked regularly and
exceeds that required of private pilots. Don't you feel safer knowing that
the captain of your airline flight has a checkride and a physical every six
months instead of a biennial flight review and a physical every three years?

A commercial pilot with minimum time can be hired by any
plane owner to fly their airplane under part 91, anywhere in
the world, under IFR or VFR. They just can't carry
passengers or cargo "for hire."


They can't? Please explain. §61.133 says you can. I am curious about the
ins
and outs of this myself. And could somebody explain, maybe by example,
what
'holding out' means?
