That's right but it's a joy to prove that in the regulations. The way it goes is that (in the UK and EASA at least):
- FCL.205.H says the privileges of PPL(H) are only to fly without remuneration (except for instructing or examining for PPL or attached ratings)
- FCL.305 does not mention this restriction for a CPL
- MED.A.30 says you need a Class One to exercise privileges of a CPL
So yes, what Hughes said
