Vance Breese
Cleared for Takeoff
I have been reading some of the responses to questions about the FARs and it appears to me there are some very knowledgeable people here that understand the nuances of the FARs better than I ever will.
I would be grateful for help with some apparent confusion I have about receiving compensation.
I fly an experimental amateur built gyroplane and my certificate reads commercial pilot, rotorcraft-gyroplane.
I have flown her in a number of air shows.
It is just a demonstration of how a gyroplane maneuvers because many have not seen a gyroplane fly.
The operating limitations of the aircraft appear to me to prohibit flying for compensation.
I feel that includes money, motels, meals and gas so I have demurred when offered compensation for flying in air shows.
Many people have suggested that I am confused about this and flying in an airshow is somehow different.
I would be grateful for knowledgeable opinions.
Thank you.
