Private Pilot Certificate Privilidges & Limitations: Many refer to this as a "License To Have Fun", and there is a good reason(s) why: You really can't do anything else except have fun. You can't make money as a private pilot flying, with one or two exceptions and it is important to understand your priviledges and limitations. 1. You cannot carry passengers or property for hire. 2. You may only be reimburse for your fair share of the cost of a flight if you arrange to share costs with passengers (pro-rata share). 3. The only time you may be compensated for flying as a private pilot is if, and only if it is incidental to your work. 4. If you are an airplane salesperson with over 200 logged hours, you may receive compensation for flying the plane to demo the aircraft for a customer. 5. You may be reimbursed for fuel, oil, plane rental for search and rescue activities. 6. You may be reimbursed for fuel, oil, plane rental for work with charitable organizations (check specific regulations for compliance parameters.) In a nutshell, you can have alot of fun with your Private Pilot Certificate, but you won't make any money. If you want to start making money, look into earning your Commercial and Air Transport Certificates. Medical Certificates: In order to acquire your Private Pilot's Certificate, one of the things you must do is pass a routine medical exam. The following medical classes correspond to different Pilot Certificates: First Class Medical Air Transport Professional Every 6 months Second Class Commercial Every 12 months Third Class Private Pilot Every 36 months (less than 40 yrs of age) Every 24 months (40 yrs of age +) Airworthiness, Aircraft Documents "A R R O W" - What must be on the aircraft to fly legally: Airwothiness Certificate Registration of Aircraft Radio Operatos License (if operating outside the U.S.) Operating Limitations Weight & Balance Data Sheets |
