Hi all,
Subpart F of Part 135 specifies flight time limits and rest period requirements for pilots in 135 operations. In there it specifies limits to the amount of "commercial flying" a pilot can do in X amount of time.
If a flight instructor provides flight instruction for free in an aircraft that is not being paid for by either the flight instructor or the student (i.e. it is being relocated under part 91), is that "commercial flying?" Both pilots are receiving compensation for relocation of the airplane as part of normal job duties. (i.e. a daily rate.)
What I'm trying to figure out is whether the instructor has to worry about the number of hours flown as a CFI in the above situation.
I can't figure out a definitive answer. I am thinking the problem is that there is compensation involved with relocation of the airplane.
And hey while we're on this topic, I am assuming a normal flight school type flight lesson in a rented 172 with the instructor getting paid is "commercial flying," right?
*Thinks about the tricky definition of "for hire" once discussed on this board...
