"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message nk.net... It wasn't meant to be a serious comment Steven :-) So responses are not allowed? 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!! Dudley |

Its not considerd flying for hire.
It is if you're being paid. Not the situation originally discussed, but suppose a non-pilot (who perhaps reads a lot and plays flight sim) acts as an instructor for a pilot who wants to learn something about flying from him. What that might be I will leave to your imagination. The pilot is current and rated in the aircraft, and acts as PIC. The passenger is being paid to instruct, the instruction is not logged. Is the non-pilot paid instructor "flying for hire"? Jose -- Math is a game. The object of the game is to figure out the rules. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

ink.net: You are if you're being compensated for it. Wrong again. You're being paid to instruct; not to fly. You don't even need a current medical unless you're acting as a required crewmember. Irrelevant. Actually, it is. FAR 61.23 states that you must must hold at least a second-class medical certificate when exercising the privileges of a commercial pilot certificate. The FAA had to make a special case in FAR 61.23 in order to state that you don't need a medical unless the instructor is a required crewmember (i.e., you're not being paid to fly). -- |

you are only a required crew member if the student does not have the
rating for the category and class being flown. Michelle John Godwin wrote: "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in link.net: You are if you're being compensated for it. Wrong again.

....or for the mission. For example, a safety pilot is a required crewmember for hood practice. Jose -- Math is a game. The object of the game is to figure out the rules. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Even when I am being paid, its not commercial. At least in the sense
the the FAA does not require me to told a class 2 medical. The FAA FAQ said that they consider CFIs as being paid to teach not to fly. Perhaps we're talking semantics. -Robert |

The FAA FAQ said that they consider CFIs as being paid to teach not to fly. Perhaps we're talking semantics. Actually no. Although the "fly for hire" has clouded the issue somewhat, one reason that a commercial is required has nothing to do with compensation. -- |

"John Godwin" wrote in message . 3.44... Wrong again. You're being paid to instruct; not to fly. Review my previous message. Keep doing so until it sinks in. Actually, it is. FAR 61.23 states that you must must hold at least a second-class medical certificate when exercising the privileges of a commercial pilot certificate. The FAA had to make a special case in FAR 61.23 in order to state that you don't need a medical unless the instructor is a required crewmember (i.e., you're not being paid to fly). Find a dictionary, look up the words. |
