Aerial Survey work on a PPL
As I see it, you can take passengers and share the cost of the flight; and the passenger, who can be a farmer or a photographer or anything, can take photos, but he can't make any money out of the photos,-simple!

My understanding is that he can make money out of the photos.
What he can't do is commission you to fly him for the purpose of taking photos.
It's a fine line, and it's obvious that a prosecution would be impossible (for a single random flight) unless somebody has a grudge against you and goes to the CAA with a witness statement claiming that a particular such and such was agreed before the flight, and then you admit it.

Two documents you should read:
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1428/Summa...009May2010.pdf
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/SRG_GAD_AERIAL_PHOTO.PDF
Jersey has its own rules so you might want to check those as well.

If the `film` is paid for,and the a/c is paid for,even if not by you ,then I think that is `valuable consideration`,and is aerial work..
