Re: Issues re donating a flight in a fund-raising auction
Hang on a moment chaps. The key word here is CHARITY - noticeably missing from the original poster's question.
Nothing in the AIC permits you to fly people around for "fund raising purposes", unless the funds are to be donated to a Registered Charity.
Some schools are organised such that a Registered Charity might be available to act as a beneficiary of the Auction, but if the auction is simply to top up school funds on behalf of, say, a parent-teachers association, then this is a total no no.
If you go ahead and do it, despite not meeting the requirements for the Public Transport/Aerial Work flight, then you risk legal action if shopped, and invalid insurance should you hurt yourself or your passenger.
If you are feeling generous but don't meet the requirements, consider donating the cash for an individual to go to a properly accredited organisation for their aeros.
