100hr insp + non profit flying clubs
In the U.S., does 91.409(b) required 100hr inspections for a non-profit
flying club? Here are some relevant details: A club (a non-profit corporation in the eyes of the state) is formed specifically as a flying club, and has no purpose other than to provide its members with aircraft for private flying and training (commercial use is specifically prohibited, other than training). Members are charged monthly dues, and an hourly rate for the planes when they are flying; all funds are used to maintain the planes. Members are listed on the insurance policy, and members vote to decide if a plane is bought or sold; most other duties for maintaining the planes and club are delegated to a Board of Directors selected by the membership. If the club ever disbands, the aircraft are to be sold and the funds put in an account to start a new flying club. I think this point would make the status of the members of the club who 'rent' the plane different than a member of a private partnership where each member owns a share of the plane (at least as far as 409(b) is concerned). I'm not convinced of this yet, but I would like to hear what others think. I know this topic has been discussed in this group before, and I thought it was clear that a club like this is *not* required to have 100hr inspections. But I have never seen the specifics of the non-profit corporation addressed for 409(b). I would like to hear your opinions and thoughts on this. Should the club send these details to the FAA for a specific ruling? Thank you! DanH |
