I was recently asked for advice by a private owner on this very subject. I trawled the rules and regs and struggled to find a definitive answer that I was confident was correct. My advice was to seek specialist advice from an aviation savvy law firm. Their advice was to set up a lease agreement and the lessee to become the operator. All crewing to be at arms length from the owner.
