Charging for instruction, no instructor rating

Guy has an airplane, commercial certificate but no instructor rating and takes students up for acrobatic lessons, mountain checkouts and charges for it. FAA legal? As long as he isn't signing their log book and impersonating a certificated instructor, I don't see why it would be illegal. Matt |

: I think that he should read FAR 119.1 (tied to Part 135 operations). The way I read it, he has to stay within 25 miles of the departure airport and not land anywhere else. Within those restrictions, he seems to be OK. There might be a drug testing question, too, but I'm fuzzy on that. Bob Gardner "Doug" wrote in message ups.com...

I think the bigger issue is with the plane. Does he needs to be renting the plane or letting the customer bring his own to avoid "holding out" - requiring a Part 135 certificate for the operation... |

Its good that the world doesn't sit around and wait to see what "RST
believes"! I know of serveral pilots that have worked for a well known firm in Napa that offers rides to pax, including aerobatics, including letting the pax try some aerobatics themselves. None of them are CFIs. The operation is in good graces will the FAA. If you can think of any reg that you think prohibits this you should consider posting it. |

Lots of places offer airplane site-seeing rides that are not 135.
Nothing wrong with offering rides as long as everything is commercial. You don't need 135 for that. |

Robert Gary is exactly right. That's one of the lines between Part 91 and
135. A Part 91 pilot with a commercial certificate can give "rides" if s/he stays within 25 miles of the departure airport and doesn't land anywhere else. If s/he wants to take someone 26 miles away and land, an Air Taxi/Commercial Operator certificate is required...with a ton of new regulations that must be observed.
