"Mark" should get a 135 certificate before he gets in trouble.


Why? If the $175 does not include his pro-rata share, he's legal isn't he?


Not likely. IIRC, there was an article recently in one of the aviation
pubs (AOPA Pilot, I think)
where a pilot flew a doctor and nurse to a crash site for no pay, and
wound up getting written up
by the FAA. Their view was that, even though the pilot didn't charge
anything for the flight, the doctor and nurse WERE being paid, and
therefore, it was deemed a commercial/135 operation.
