Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Compensation as a SP flying an ELSA??

Hello The response to a issue of the legality is often in the form of the question and how they got to that point The planes may not be hired but the pilots can You hire a mechanic and his tools come free It may have started out as a freebie for a friend and the return as the use increased was fuel then paying someone to fly the planes then  to cost of maintenance If the FDSO thinks its a worthwhile proposal and the questions asked are framed for the desired outcome it goes through  Ask if you can check powerlines for a utility and the answer will be NO! Ask if you can monitor weed infestations in a reserve and the chances are good for ok Peter --- On Thu, 4/21/11, Gary <garyo@bak.rr.com> wrote: From: Gary <garyo@bak.rr.com> Subject: Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Compensation as a SP flying an ELSA??

Are you looking to see if they are legal doing what they do so you can do it also? Or are you complaining about their operations itself? At any rate your answer rests with the regulations and the FSDO interpretations at the location it is being done, not with the NPO and whatever they are doing. If they are telling their pilots to lie, I wouldn't be excited about taking lessons with them, especially since you have made it public information now.

I have tried to contact them but they will not respond, hence my reason for seeking out other avenues of info on how to do this legally. Is a 501C3 allowed to own a fleet of ELSA aircraft and pay for all the expenses if flown by volunteer pilots? --- In Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com, Helen Woods wrote: > > A 501C3 is allowed to donate fuel and you do not need to be a commercial > pilot to accept such from a 501C3.
