    Crash at Loveland Ski Area, Colo

    So sad. Family of 3. Senseless. I fly these mountains all the time in a 85hp cub. They demand tremendous respect. If you really want to fly out here the CPA course will put the requisite fear into you - then I think a glider endorsement will really teach you how to fly here.

    And the IRS doesn't care whether the FAA considers your operation commercial or whether you have insurance. That $45 an hour is income, and if you have no other business or need for a schedule C - that means its taxed at ordinary income rates. So that's probably $30 bucks after taxes. That is...

    Selling Block time on your aircraft

    I suggest you consider the IRS at least or more heavily than the FAA - for example who has possession and control of the plane. Google a damp lease or a sham dry lease. I think I would only do this with people I trusted more than some random off the street.
