Less important data unrelated to your flight, for instance the london hotels you will be staying in, is better placed on personal logs than here.

  • FIND a flight: Find the best flight that suits your needs.

    Review flight details using the criterion that is important to you e.g. pilot, location, type of plane etc.

  • CONNECT with other pilots: Meet other pilots and build your network.

    Use our online contact form to email pilots about sharing a flight.

FAR Sec. 61.113 - Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command.

  • Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (g) of this section, no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft.
  • A private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if:
    • The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and
    • The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.
    • A private pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses of a flight with passengers, provided the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expenditures, or rental fees.
Explicity, The F.A.R.'s allow you to charge PRO-RATA share (equal share of total cost) with passengers for the costs listed under:
  • Fuel & Oil
  • Airport Expenditures (Landing Fees, Ramp Fees, etc.)
  • Rental Fees
Further,
  • You can not be solicited by passengers i.e. You must be going where YOU want to be going. For example, a passenger cannot approach you and say "Take me to XXX and I will pay half the fuel costs".

  • You CAN NOT charge anything for your own services. You need to get commercial before you can charge for the services
