Lots of discussion for such a moot point. Don't bother an attourney with this kind of question, not worth the price of admission. A call to the FSDO may not be worth the time either. Bottom line, it's not worth the effort to jump through all the hoops on this one. .3 of flight time. Are you serious. It took me almost that long to write this. Have a commercial pilot do the flight. Even if he/she isn't compensated for the flight, there will be no questions as to the legality.
