Can you fly part 91?
I have only been through orientation and I have the opportunity to do some 91 flying. I havent gotten an answer from who I asked but was wondering if there is somewhere that says I cannot or someone who can answer? Thanks

From what I understand legally you can instructor since it doesn't count towards 117. However most will advise to focus mainly on completing CBTs and studying for training. I asked the chief in orientation as well and he advised against it. As for our official policy I'm not sure. I'm sure there's some SOP that says no outside work but not sure. So really up to you, but maybe don't advertise it if you do.
I should clarify this applies to instructing. Part 91k or 91 ops for a 121 carrier still count towards 117 limitations.

Yes your allowed to do flight instruction as it doesnt count against part 117. Just email the chiefs with a request to do outside flight instruction and save the approval email so that way down the road if there's any questions your covered.

Flight instruction performed under Part 91, if you are compensated, is "other commercial flying,' and must be considered in calculating your flight time limitations.
Flight instruction under Part 91 which is not compensated is not "other commercial flying."
Use caution, as the FAA has determined that the logging of flight time is considered compensation.

Flying other than instruction, if compensated, is "other commerical flying," and likewise counts against your flight time limitations under Part 121.
Banner towing, firefighting, flying jumpers, ag flying, etc...all count toward the total flight time limitations applicable under 121 or 135.
