The Options

Chris,

Your location may be a factor. You list the ‘Net’ as your location, as this is ubiquitous you could be the offspring of El Presidente for life of some banana republic. In that case you can do what you like, and have the Minister for Aviation removed if there is any objection. If you inhabit a more mainstream location, you will be required to abide by the rules of that country. Most follow the ICAO conventions, which regard the PPL as a non-commercial licence.

You might like to check up on cost sharing, which is about the only way you can offset some of your flying expenses as a PPL. Please do pay due regard to the term ‘holding out to…’ which is basically advertising your services and is frowned on.

There have been some recent changes in the EASA regime which allow a PPL holder to get some remuneration for specific types of flying (predominantly instruction) within a club or training organisation.

Congratulations on your attempt to end up with a small fortune in aviation. The usual advice is to start with a large one.

Safe Flying,
WKW
