The only way it can be done is to not be paid or compensated but who wants to give away a service as a professional for free?

Many glider clubs are set up as non-profit organizations to promote soaring. As such, any expenses you incur helping out become tax write-offs. Forty eight point five cents per mile for the round trip every time you instruct or tow. (Finishing up the tax paperwork.)

The FAA requires a 2nd Class Medical or BETTER to excercise the privileges of a Commercial Pilot Certificate. With that being said, to excercise the Certified Flight Instructor Certificate you only need a 3rd Class Medical. I was asked this on my CFI oral at the Rochester, NY FSDO. The FAA does NOT consider flight instruction, exercision of the Commerical Ticket. |

A CFI can instruct WITHOUT acting as PIC. I'm doing it, friends are doing it. Your flight instruction client has to be rated and qualified in the plane plus have their medical so they ACT as PIC. |
