It may be a hole.

The holder of a private pilot licence is authorised to pilot an aircraft as pilot in command or co‑pilot if:

(a) the aircraft is engaged in a private operation; or

(b) the holder is receiving flight training.

The definition of "private operation" in the Dictionary is an operation that is not one on a list. We've already seen that if an operation is not for hire or reward it's not an air transport operation.

What's to stop me being the PIC of PC12, on a private licence, flying members of the public back and forward from Outbacksville and Suburbantown on the morning and afternoon of each working day, as a charity? No money changes hands. I'm doing it as an act of
philanthropic generosity. Advertised to the public; first in best dressed.
