Who says you have to pay for your kids?
Let your friends pay for them :-) I've never heard of anybody getting officially questioned about this, anybody else? Dave Jon Kraus wrote: snip so by taking the kids along, I can collect 80% instead of just 66%. Yea and in the process screw yourself because you would be covering your kids share. I never include kids in the "pay your fair share" calculation. :-) Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201 4443H @ TYQ |

I don't have to pay for the kids. The rule says that "[a] private pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses of a flight with passengers [...]" It doesn't say anything about who pays the rest. As long as I pay 20%, the pax can divide the rest up among themselves as they like. |

If your pax are willing to throw in your kids' part then I'd hold on to
them as my dearest friends. I don't know many folks who would do that... Like I said it is easier to just divide it up between the adults but to each his own...

Well, since I'm covering all the non-direct costs that Part 61 won't let me claim back... |

Just tell them how much it cost and that you'll take whatever they
think is fair. You'll almost always come out ahead that way. Just don't give receipts and accept only cash. I flew to a fly-in today with my two sons (aged 1 and 2) and two adult coworkers. My buddies want to pay their fair share, but as I private pilot I am obviously limited under FAR 61.118 as to what I can accept. So, what share of the direct costs should I take from each coworker? 33%? 20%? Or their weight divided by the total weight of all pax? |

You could try the BS the Pax technique
Pax know zip, so Tell them the aircraft costs $600 per hour to operate, They each dutifully pay their third, You say thanks, and now you have two good and true citizens who will vouch that they each paid one third And that advice only cost you 10% - you're making money everywhere Tony -- Tony Roberts PP-ASEL VFR OTT Night Cessna 172H C-GICE In article .com, "Mike Granby" wrote: I flew to a fly-in today with my two sons (aged 1 and 2) and two adult coworkers.
