Correct, small GA aircraft like tailwheel mentioned, VFR, just like the training navigation flights, but now with passengers
I thought that was the whole point of getting your CPL, so you could start small with the required knowledge and experience and work your way up. That was just a reckless comment Squawk7700.
I just never considered this to be an issue while I was doing my training. To even have a couple of mates up in the air with me for a fun flight, who'd like to cover all the costs, is considered illegal. I should've thought ahead and applied for an AOC during RPL training!
