Fair Share
I flew to a fly-in today with my two sons (aged 1 and 2) and two adult coworkers. My buddies want to pay their fair share, but as I private pilot I am obviously limited under FAR 61.118 as to what I can accept. So, what share of the direct costs should I take from each coworker? 33%? 20%? Or their weight divided by the total weight of all pax? |

Go for 20% and accept more Has anyone in the history of aviation ever been audited for this? I mean really.... |

Well, quite, I don't expect an audit. Just delighting in the minute details of the rules! |

FAA only maybe responds to informants, like after you ****ed off one of your coworkers enough, and he knows you've done wrong and that FAA even enforces stuff which will sound dinky to them. That can't happen if you tell them simply that FAA rules say that the adults share the costs, should they offer more than 33. They won't be aware of the FAR which states every pilot's rule interpretation must be 100% accurate. :-) Fred F. |

You can have your two co-wrokers each "contribute" one-third.

Someone on another forum just pointed out that the rules says that a pilot must not pay less than his fair share. Thus, I could pay 20%, and let the pax decide how to split the 80% between them. I'm sure my co-workers would agree with the kids that the adults should pay, so by taking the kids along, I can collect 80% instead of just 66%. Better get working on some more...... |

In oups.com,
Mike Granby slavered, and posted this: Someone on another forum just pointed out that the rules says that a pilot must not pay less than his fair share.

Your math needs a bit of work. Since you are legally responsible for the children, your "fair share" would be 60% (3/5) of the cost. I don't think child labor laws allow 1 and 2 year old children to work off the debt...and since they can't enter into a legal contract, you can't get an "IOU" from them for the flights -- Doug Semler http://home.wideopenwest.com/~doug_semler a.a. #705, BAAWA.

They are seperate persons, and they can enter into contracts; such contracts just can't be enforced against them! Since someone else would be paying for them out of their choice, they'd be no need to enforce anything. As to working it off, well, we'll add it to their chores list when they're a little older...... |

so by taking the kids along, I can collect 80% instead of just 66%. Yea and in the process screw yourself because you would be covering your kids share. I never include kids in the "pay your fair share" calculation. :-) Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201 4443H @ TYQ |
