We fought the same battle when the local County Dept of Aviation was trying
to ban "freelance CFIs".. after a few meetings with legal.. this is what
they came up with.

FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS

A person holding a current FAA flight instructor's certificate, who gives
occasional flight instruction and does not advertise or proactively make
available flight instruction and does not advertise or proactively make
available flight instruction to an Aircraft Owner in the Aircraft Owner's
aircraft, shall not be deemed a commercial operator. Additionally in
accordance with County Code as may be amended, the permit requirements of
this section do not apply to the incidental conduct of certain business or
commercial transactions on an irregular and infrequent basis occurring
between persons who are not based at or who are not otherwise operating any
commercial activity from the Airport

Anyone have a link to or a copy of the lawsuit Gene Whitt filed
against the airport that stopped freelance CFI's from operating from
there. My local airport is attempting the same thing and I'm
gathering information for the freelance CFI's I know..
