Demo flights for marketing are not required to meet the TSA criteria

Be careful here. They mean for "marketing" an aircraft, not "marketing"
flight training.

"Demonstration flight for marketing purposes means a flight for the purpose of
demonstrating an aircraft’s or aircraft

simulator’s capabilities or characteristics to a potential purchaser, or to an
agent of a potential purchaser,

of the aircraft or simulator, including an acceptance flight after an aircraft
manufacturer delivers an aircraft to a

purchaser."

is that buried in the TSA definitin somewhere?
I saw definitions for "flight school". "recurrency training".. etc.. but not
"marketing"

I can't market the flight school? or flying in general?

The formatting was screwed up, but that was a quote straight from the rule.
Not a definition of "marketing" but rather of 'demonstration flight".

Sure you can. But you can't give a flight lesson and call it a
"demonstration flight" unless (perhaps) the purpose of the flight is to sell the
airplane.

Update! From Judy R's post earlier today. It seems that this rule is
changing faster than we can talk about it.

"-- Introductory flights, field checks, aircraft checkouts
and other proficiency flights are NOT considered flight
training."

This seems to say that it is OK for a CFIG to turn a glider ride into
an introductory lesson without dealing with the citizenship issue. A good
thing, because we pick up lots of new students that way.

I did not say I was giving a lesson... I said I was marketing Aviation...
