Thanks, so a ppl can take these air experience flights for an ATO,
No, air experience flight is Exercise 3 and requires a FI however; an "Introductory Flight" as defined in the IN may be flown by a PPL holder. The sale of vouchers generates profit outside the organisation and is therefore not permitted.
9.7 Which organisations can conduct the flight?
In addition to Approved Training Organisations the regulation allows 'organisations created with the aim of promoting aerial sport or leisure aviation' to conduct introductory flights on the condition that 'the aircraft is operated on the basis of ownership or dry lease, that the flight does not generate profits outside of the organisation and that whenever non-members of the organisation are involved, such flights represent only a marginal activity of the organisation. Therefore, provided it can meet the conditions described, any organisation set up with these aims may conduct the flight, including an Registered Training Facility.
