I'm curious if the situation changes if the pilot in question holds a
commercial ticket instead of a ppl but everything else is the same. Not
operating a business of providing transportation to the public as an air
taxi does but rather if on a casual basis a buddy says something like "I
need to get up to Sudbury tomorrow - if you'll rent the plane and fly us up
I'll cover the costs of the trip and your expenses" if that would be legal
for a commercial license holder.

I think you'd also have to get approved by Transport Canada as a
commercial operation, with a chief pilot, operations manual,
etc. etc., as well as getting the appropriate (much more expensive)
insurance on the plane.


All the best,
