I do not understand this..... Surely whomever "contracted" the pilot for this commercial flight (as McKay confirmed) had a duty of care to only employ a commercial pilot fully licensed to execute this flight on an N registered aircraft with a paying passenger (irrespective who paid). So if wilfully employing a daytime-only PPL as the sole pilot is malicious in its intent?
