Taking passengers flying as a Christmas present
With the giving period coming up, a couple of my friends have asked me if I would do a flight for their parents as a gift. I currently rent a Cessna 172 from my local club and am happy to take passengers flying, but I wondered what implications there were to these actions.
First of all, as I am only a PPL, I realise that I cannot be paid for flying passengers, so would only charge my friends up to 100% of the operating costs of the aircraft for the time (rent, fuel, landing).
In regards to insurance, the club offers day insurance at £5 which I would include in the price of the flight and I would make the passengers aware f this.
As I am not an instructor, I would obviously fly the left hand seat and give the passengers a full safety briefing for pre-takeoff, takeoff, airbourne, landing, etc.
I promise to make it an enjoyable experience and promote GA as a safe and fun hobby.
Anything else I may need to add?
