... and from what I saw on there, you declined the young PPL(A) lad who wanted a go - he was your only offer! OK, he wouldn't be able to manipulate the controls but he may contribute towards a flight as a taster. Contrary to what people on there say, it would be illegal for him to "have a go".
I never mentioned that it would be a 50/50 share...assumptions are the mutha of all f****ups! I'm just simply looking for a possible win win scenario.
It cannot be any more than 50% contribution (assuming 1 passenger) but it could be as little as a penny! Yes, I assumed 50% but I'm not the only one who made that assumption.
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch so your win/win scenario is a trifle optimistic.
FYI I got a 92% pass mark in my Air Law exam, albeit over a year ago. There is nothing illegal about sharing costs - as far as I remember you are just not allowed to fly for renumeration!
Good for you! See my point above and Pandalet's comments re advertising.
I, along with a few others, cannot see who this offer is aimed at whether Rotorheads or Private Flying except a fixed wing pilot who may want a taster of rotary i.e. a pleasure flight. Why would any PPL(H) whether working towards a professional qualification or not, want to pay for hours they cannot log? Would you?
