This may sound a bit dumb, but is not commercial time and private time still spent in a airplane?

Thank you all for your honest and insightful thoughts. I just passed the instrument ride this afternoon, really hot and rough! Getting closer!

Congrats on the checkride.

Commercial flying is different in that you are presumed to be under a higher level of scrutiny, and you have to manage competing safety, regulatory and economic factors. Theoretically, in private flying the no-go decision is always easy, and you never have to fly when you don't want to.
