unrestricted commercial operating under part 91
Hello all,
I hold an unrestricted commercial pilot's license issued in 1973. I am not current but that's something I can take care of in a week. My question is... I would like to fly for hire under part 91. Specifically, I would to fly lawyers to their depos and get back home at the end of the day. It's my understanding that I cannot do this and have to operate under part 135? My, how times and restrictions have changed!! My Google research indicates that all this added crap went into effect in 1993. Might someone out there, like myself, know if I'm "grandfathered"under part 91? Thanks |

You are not grandfathered for the purpose of "holding out to the public". And I cannot recall if the change was due to an actual change in the rules. I thought the change was due to a different interpretation of existing rules. Now, if the lawyer firm owned the aircraft and used it for flying only "firm" lawyers, and hired you as a pilot for that aircraft, then it would probably come under Part 91. --ron |

You cannot supply the airplane though, that would be holding out. -Robert |

I thought that you could enter into a contract with a group to provide them
flying services and it could be operated under part-91? There were some litmus tests to see if you were providing services to the "limits of your capability" and thus holding out, but if you were reasonably constrained to the single contract the airplane ownership was not relevant?
