Conducting Flyovers for Compensation

[tmath31]

Hello, first time post.

My local racetrack is asking for me to conduct a flyover for a race. Less than 30,000 people per 8900.1 Volume III, Chapter 12 so no TFR or waiver needed. I would be using my personal plane and being compensated via money. I have my CSEL certificate and a 1st class medical. I cannot find anything in the CFRs that dictate this is a no-go for compensation/hire with no passengers or cargo. I appreciate your time.

Minimum altitude rules per 14CFR 91.119(b) may apply. Anything less that that you would probably want a waiver from the local FSDO.
Key is "open air assembly of persons", no quantity specified, very subjective by those enforcing the CFR.

Yep adhering to 1,000 feet.

Is your personal plane experimental?

Should have added that in there. No it’s certified.

100 hour or annual within 100 hours?

100 hour or annual within 100 hours?

How is that relevant?

carrying any person (other than a crewmember) for hire

100 hour or annual within 100 hours?

Why?

 

[tmath31]

It is, but irrelevant. Not carrying anyone.
