CFI without commercial?

True enough , but doesn't "for hire" carry the implication that some
actual money must change hands? :-)))


I think bartering would still be considered for hire. But if I instruct my
son in my own airplane and receive nothing in return but the joy of sharing
something I love with my child it is definitely not "for hire".

You can get paid all you want instructing, and don't even have to have
a medical unless you are acting as PIC, then only a 3rd class. You not
acting as a commercial pilot instructing, even though the regs say you
need it for the exam.

If you're being paid for instructing you're acting as a commercial pilot.

Is it possible to get the CFI without the Commercial ? Some of us instrument rated pilots would like to get a CFI and don't need / intend to charge.

Sure. Responses are welcome all the time. Not meaning to be overly critical
as evidenced by the following smiley type thing :-) but It's just that with
you, I never quite know how to take the response. It could be a general
comment. It could be a crack. It's seldom more than one line, and more often
than not can be taken several ways by the reader.
Over the years, I've come to believe you and I don't understand each other
all that well, and you seldom post under me anyway, so when I post a general
comment to someone other than you meant to be "inside humor" on the pay
issues for CFI's, which most of us should already know isn't all that great
a proposition, and you answer that with a typical one liner that diverts
from the humorous intent of the post you are answering, I'm naturally a bit
gun shy with you that's all.
Might I suggest you try attaching something once in a while to indicate you
mean humor. It's allowed in the response you know......Usenet protocol and
all that :-)) See what I mean? Doesn't hurt a bit!!

I don't use smilies. If you have to tell your audience when to laugh your
humor has missed the mark.
