Private pilot with small personal airplane available for ????
Plane is a low wing 4 seater (Piper Warrior)
I can fly day or night
USA only
VFR (good weather) only
I am not able to "charge for transporting people", but there are options...
According to the FAA, who has issued a public letter stating that "shared expenses" meant every individual in the aircraft, including the pilot, paid an equal amount of the operating cost of the flight.
This means...
I can fly you around a bit if you and I share the expenses of the flight. My flight expenses include fuel and maintenance of the airplane. The cost per hour is a pretty simple breakdown, $55.00 per hour plus the cost of fuel which is about another $50 bucks per hour. So the cost could be figured as $105 per hour or thereabouts split by me the pilot and any passengers.
I can fly four total people (including pilot) as long as the weight per person doesnt exceed about 150lbs. There is a little fudge room here, but not much.
The airplane travels about 100-130mp as the crow flys depending upon winds and load.
I have flown back and forth to Oklahoma City several times and it took about 5 1/2 hours each way.
I have also flown to Houston TX a few times in it.


Whats the catch??

No catch... Its a way for me to fly my airplane more without having to pay the entire cost.

is this legit?
