Happy to be proved wrong!
As a PPL(FI) you are operating in a commercial role and taking a student (passenger) flying for reward, whereas as a PPL holder you are operating solely as a private pilot.
You can still fly on a Class 2 as a PPL(FI) but not when exercising the privileges of your FI rating.
