Looking at correspondence above and on the PFA BB

http://www.pfa.org.uk/cgi-bin/ultima...138;p=1#000014

There seems to be an issue about ownership and ability to function with PtF aircraft

On the one hand PFA are going to insist all group owners of a PFA aircraft are PFA members. This means all who are owners of shares in the plane

On the other hand, if one person owns an aircraft and forms a group to operate a PFA aircraft, then lets other by being group membrs fly it at a given rate, it appears that is illegal as it could be considered a commercial activity

So if I own a permit aircraft, cos I have shedloads of money, but I have a friend or two who might want to fly it, but they can't afford any capital input, just share of cost and flight time - is that illegal?

If it is, how do poor bods get a chance to fly?
