You also don’t need a medical to flight instruct either in some cases. Nor do you need to have three takeoffs and landings within 90 days at night to provide instruction (The FAA published a letter of interpretation on this). If flight instructing was a commercial operation you would be illegal to do the above.

That is because for instruction where the student is already at least a private pilot (can log PIC) then the instructor does not need to be the PIC of the flight, hence no need for medical or landing currency. However, that does not change the fact that the instructor still needs to have both a commercial certificate and CFI, and by definition is operating under the commercial certificate for compensation/hire.

If I was displaced off of a trip for ioe, reassigned a short overnight with a deadhead back to base, can I drop the deadhead and still be guaranteed the original trip pay or does it screw everything up because I dropped part of a reassignment? I’d like to drop the deadhead because I can commute 1 leg from where I end up.

(b) Currency.
No person may:
(1) Exercise privileges of an airman certificate, rating, endorsement, or authorization issued under this part unless that person meets the appropriate airman and medical recency requirements of this part, specific to the operation or activity.
Again, if a medical is required to exercise the privileges of a certificate (in this case commercial), how is it that one can perform a commercial operation without a medical?

Take a look at 61.2(b)(1)

You are hilarious. Try telling that to an FAA DPE on your commercial pilot checkride. Flight instruction is listed in the FARs as one of the things you may do with your commercial pilot privileges.

And yes, I would love to hear an FAA inspector explain how one can perform a commercial operation without a medical. (I.e. flight instruction sans medical).

Broham, the back of your flight instructor certificate literally says “valid only when accompanied by pilot certificate Noxxxxxx”
Lol!

There is case law that defines what is considered commercial flying.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...IMcazA2SwKf93f
The liability potential with certificate action is exponentially increased when flight instructing.
Company does not want you to become unavailable for flying.
-Keep the dirty side down
