Can an LLC owning an experimental A/C get paid for displaying an advertisement in form of a company logo on the side of the airplane? What does FAA say about it? Where do I look? thanks!
Well I guess that every airshow performer is going to get violated.........
Slight thread drift, do airshow performers have commercial tickets? Is that a requirement? Has nothing to do with the OP, just curious.Well I guess that every airshow performer is going to get violated.........

Where is the prohibition on all commercial activity in experimentals?Most likely answer is NO..
My rational is that advertising is commercial activity, and no commercial activity is allowed in experimentals. The only exception is transition training under a LODA, but it's highly unlikely to get a LODA for advertising (and certainly not for banner towing).
All that withstanding: If it is the LLC's aircraft and they are showing a logo that is not blatant advertisement you can maybe get away with it. URL's and Phone Numbers might not be low key enough.
Sponsorship is not the same as advertising. Knowing the rules would be important, for sure.
Yeah. You're wrong. There are lots of experimental exhibition and restricted use aircraft generating revenue in commercial ops.In my Op-Lims for Phase 2 flight it states in item 1 "No person may operate this aircraft for other than the purpose of meeting the requirements of 14 CFR 91.319(b) during phase 1 flight testing, and for recreation or education after meeting these requirements"
Then in item 11 "No person may operate this aircraft for carrying persons or property for compensation or hire."
Arguably, a logo is not "carrying property," but I don't know to squeeze into flying for "recreation or education" as the purpose.
BICBW.
it is? funny then how every sponsor has a big logo on the aircraft somewhere. thats exactly what sponsorship is, advertising.
also, my op-specs say the same thing, no carrying persons or property for hire. advertising on the side of the plane is not carrying persons or property for hire, its just somebody paying for my paint job.
