Final Approach
if so, I'd be much obliged to pick up a ride. I'll chip in for gas of course.

If the pilot is going from JYO anyway and you're both headed the same way, thats no problem.woodstock said:is that for real? let's say we all leave from JYO - of course I'd pay the pro-rata per the FARs. and if he goes from OKV to JYO to get me, why wouldn't I pay pro-rata for at least the JYO-LNS and back leg? is this really a wrinkle in the FARs?
Greebo said:Entirely possible - wouldn't be the first time. If so, call it me erring on the side of caution.
Joe Williams said:I think you are mistaken, Chuck. So long as the passenger only pays the pro rata share of the gas for the part of the ride they are along on, I think you are ok. There is common purpose here, after all, namely lunch at LNS. Where the flight originates from I think is irrelevant in this case.
Don't you just love the way Mooney owners talk ?Ed Guthrie said:...copacetic equilibrium.
Ed Guthrie said:the problem is the OKV-JYO diversion
ggroves said:We'll call it....."VFR ADIZ Practice"
That's why $$ isn't a consideration. It's a "do something nice" situation.

ggroves said:Beth,
Ignore the anal retentive types. We're happy to do it and there's nothing to go wrong since nothing will be paid, exchanged, considered, etc. I'll PM you on Friday to confirm. Right now, looks like JYO @ 11 AM.

Yes, it is. Anyway, even if you did, they've got better things to do than worry about whether Beth buys Greg lunch.Greebo said:"Don't tell the feds" isn't the correct answer? ;-)

Depends on the Fed, Ron. If they're some junior GS-5, newly minted cubicle plankton, they might see Beth and Greg as the aeronautical equivalent of Bonnie & Clyde and allocate their entire year's budget working to bust them.Ron Levy said:Yes, it is.

(Being facetious. . . sort of--remember seeing a newly minted badge and gun-toter bushy-tailed and straight from FLETC come to our office. I gave him a stack of student loan dodgers to update. Usual MO was to see if we could get a phone number or place of employment, then mail a polite letter asking them to please pay back their federally guaranteed student loan. This one new hotshot, I kid you not, would walk into their place of employment, badge 'em and cuff 'em then haul them down the federal detention center. . . Never underestimate the gung-ho'dness of some of these folks. . . )
