You cannot be convicted on the spirit of something only on the Letter!
It is bad enough in the UK to get criminals convicted nowadays because of minute get outs.
The ANO seems amazingly wishy washy and maybe that is why so few prosecutions are bought in illegal charter.
What constitutes a friend? There are people on this site who I have never met or conversed with who I would classify as friends?
If a friend brings along a friend who is not your friend?
I also find it a joke that the CAA value someones safety by whether money exchanges hands.
I would say very few one off fun flights are with people who are any more familiar with the risks and dangers of flying with a PPL in single.
To them a pilot is a pilot qualified to fly whether they have got 50 hrs total or 500 hrs total.
Are these people less entitled to the protections placed on the same people paying for it!
We all know the spirit of what the CAA have tried to achieve but its the detail that counts.
