There are four elements in defining a common carrier; (1) a holding out of a willingness to (2) transport persons or property (3) from place to place (4) for compensation. Read this - AC 120-12A

thank you for that. i just finished reading it. It makes sense, but doesn't it only apply to flying for "compensation"? Since i will be paying my share of the aircraft hourly rate (rental for a lack of better words) and fuel doesn't that exclude my situation from being "for compensation?"
