A waiver from the FSDO, which you are unlikely to get as a 145 hour
private pilot.

I didn't notice that part!

I believe a waiver is only necessary for airmen who don't hold a
Commercial Certificate or ATP.

The waivers I've seen obtained by my friend in this business and his
pilots I believe say a commercial certificate is required. Whether or
not they would issue a waiver to a private pilot, thus for
noncommercial activity, would be a question to be posed to the FSDO.

Given:

§ 91.311 Towing: Other than under §91.309.

No pilot of a civil aircraft may tow anything with that aircraft
(other than under §91.309) except in accordance with the terms of a
certificate of waiver issued by the Administrator.

It would appear that any towing by any pilot with the exception of
Gliders and unpowered ultralight vehicles requires a waiver.

Interesting that the TFRs around stadiums pretty much rule out any banner towing aircraft, and that apparently all
banner towing pilots need this waiver.

The regulation referenced earlier in this thread, 91.311, doesn't say
anything about the type of certificate.
