Who paid for the flight? My understanding is that if the pilot takes another
person, then that other person MAY NOT contribute more than 1/2 (her pro-rata
share) for the flight. Key here is who the FAA would consider the "pilot" and
who is actually paying for the flight. If they differ, you're in jack.

I paid. She's not a club member, so there was no choice but to put the
flight on my tab. & she did not reimburse me. She probably shaved a
little off my wife's instruction bill in exchange but there was no
formal arrangement. The whole bill was probably about fifteen bucks as
the Warrior I flew is only about $55/hour tach & in the pattern the tach
is about 70% of Hobbs.
