You can do a few things (not many) with the commercial which you
cannot do with a private without raising a few eyebrows.
1. Ferry flights
2. aerial photography
3. sightseeing flights
4. student instruction

You can't instruct students with a commercial certificate. That's
why we have flight instructor certificates.

A flight instructor certificate is required whenever the FAR calls for
'authorized instructor'. Examples are endorsing a student for solo flight,
giving checkride endorsement, flight reviews etc.. My understanding is that
any commercial pilot can give flight instruction and charge for his
services as long as he does sign students off.


And you had better watch out for the restrictions on commercial
operators with regard to sightseeing flights.


FAR 119.1(e)(2) lists the limitations of such sight seeing flights. There
are weight and seat limitations, and a 25NM distance limitation.
