Just getting started working on my commercial certificate, and I’ve been scouring RU-vid for a simple way to remember the information that you have presented clearly succinctly and simply. Thank you!
This video is perfect! My only addition would be to add the limitations if the commercial pilot does not have an instrument rating. Thank you so much!!
Where can i reference that its legal that the person is providing both the money and the plane? also where can i reference thats its legal to fly my friend in a plane he rented and get paid for it because i heard someone else saying you cant do that because thats a “dry lease”
First of all thanks alot for putting out this video, it was very helpful, but i have one question regarding the last example, can you please explain how does it come undef part 91 and specifically which part of part 91
This explanation was fantastic! I really appreciate how simple and easy you described everything. I’ll hopefully have my commercial checkride within the next week! Do you any trick scenarios that I could try to answer?
So say I just got my commercial license. Someone I know says they want to buy a plane and pay me to fly them places. But they also say they want to take other people with us and they will also pay the owner of the plane to take them. Would that be illegal?
Go through the flow chart as the pilot then as the owner. As a pilot, you didn’t hold out and the owner is providing the aircraft so you fine but actually the owner is holding out to friends to take them in his airplane for money (providing both the pilot and airplane), and they don’t have an operation certificate and they are not under 119 exemption so the owner is illegal. If you do this, you can be accused that you and them are a part of illegal company and you violating the rules together. If the owner wants you to take his friends it’s fine as it’s the owner’s plane and they have operational control but the owner can’t be compensated
Let’s say me and my friend are flying to Philadelphia for a dinner. And another friend popped up and asks to fly him to a city near Philadelphia. Am I able to get paid from him? (I don’t have the operational control)
I have few questions I am sorry for the long comment I hope you can see this and help me understand it a bit more. private carriage doesn't fall under part 91 and it's only for part 125 and 135 companies who doesn't want to obtain air operating certificate since they only going to have only few limited contracts and carry only certain people. Does that mean that those part 125/135 companies under private carriage goes through the same inspections and everything as a regular part 135 who is holding out and has operating certificate? And if no, what separates them from a pilot who buys his plane and provide private carriage to only certain selected contracts (aka wet lease)? And does dry lease always falls under part 91 since the customer is the one who always provides the plane? Last question is there a difference between having operational control of the AIRPLANE and operational control of the flight(aka PIC calling the shots on whether it's a go or a no go flight)? I know I might be mixing some stuff up I hope you can help me understand it a bit more thank you
Yes you are mixing up different information from different sources. Private carriage does happen under part 91 as long as the customers provides the aircraft. If you are watching this video for your commercial training then do not confuse yourself with wet lease, dry lease, certifications standards (you do not need to know all of that). For private carriage under part 91 it’s just a simple question of does the customer provide the aircraft or no.
@@pilotology3610 so does that mean for every time I fly for part 91 I am going to be doing private carriage as long as I am holding out only my pilot services but not me and airplane (excluding ofc me not working under part 125 or 135)? And is there difference between having operational control of a flight and operational control of plane? Thank you again
@@ronaldobale2886 yes common carriage is not allowed under part 91, you will need an operator certificate which puts you under 121 or 135 unless you are operating under 119 exemption jobs. Private carriage can have an operator certificate which will go under 125/135 or they can operate without a one under part 91 with the condition of the customer providing the aircraft. The operational control question is worded a bit tricky because let’s say you are a pilot for delta and flying their 737, delta is the one who has operational control of that airplane as it is their property and they are the one who assigned you to be flying that airplane because they have operational control. If they want to unassign you and bring another pilot they will be able to because they have “operational control”, but in-flight the pilot in command has the final authority
@@pilotology3610 okay thank you I think I understand better now! Just last question am I able to hold out only pilot services as long as I am not advertising me and the plane as a package? like for example I overheard my friends wanting to fly South Carolina can I tell them that I am commercial pilot and willing to fly them as long as they provide the plane? And would I need to draw up some sort of contract between us to be safe every time? Thank you
@@ronaldobale2886 no you are not allowed to do that. Holding out to the public that you are willing to provide transportation for hire makes you common carriage not private carriage, so you will need an operator certificate unless you are 119 exemption
By far the least confusing video on this topic and the diagram is really great. My question is, if you’re conducting a 119 exemption, are you allowed to provide the pilot and the plane, and be legal? Thanks
Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. Yes you can, that’s how flight schools are able to provide you with the plane and the flight instructor!
Hey, first of all thanks for your videos. It's really I appreciated. I wasn't wondering about the fuel conception the center of gravity as for effect in both cases
Todd shellnut has a video on this topic. From what I gathered, you can hold you as a commercial pilot but not as a commercial operator. Video is linked below, let me know what you guys think. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-anNmqTGxInk.htmlsi=CziWwJtwEqTirlS_
I have came across the video but never actually watched it, I’ll make sure to take a look! Todd is a great pilot, I studied for my CFI license from his FOI library, a great instructor and their FOI videos helped me a lot as a CFI!
