"Mark James Boyd" wrote in message news:40411bd3$1@darkstar... As a side note, 61.113(g) seems to say a PPL is excepted from restrictions on compensation for glider towing. Hmmm...hadn't seen that before. Interesting... 61.113(g) says nothing about compensation. That said, you are not the only one confused on that point and it is covered in the part 61 FAQ http://www.soaringsafety.org/FAQ_Glider.doc. See below: Vaughn " QUESTION: I have reviewed your question in which you asked whether a private pilot may receive compensation while towing gliders, in accordance with the new §61.113(g). ANSWER: The answer is no, a private pilot may not receive compensation for towing a glider. The intent, and the wording of the new §61.113(g), was to permit a private pilot who meets the requirements of §61.69 of this part to “. . . act as pilot in command of an aircraft towing a glider” for the purpose of logging pilot in command (PIC) time. The new rule was never intended to conflict with the FAA’s long standing legal interpretations and policies on compensation for private pilots. And the wording of the new §61.113(g) only addresses the issue that permits a private pilot to “. . . act as pilot in command of an aircraft towing a glider” for the purpose of permitting a private pilot to log pilot in command time. As you recall, the wording of the old §61.69 permitted a private pilot to act as a PIC but was moot on logging the time. The new §61.113(g) was issued to correct it. However, we agree the wording of the new §61.113(a) may be confusing. In the next go-around on correcting some of the wording mistakes, we have recorded it as a candidate for correction to conform the intent and the wording of §61.113(g). {q&a-72}" |
