Offering flights as raffle prizes
Is there an issue with PPL's offering seats as part of a charity raffle? I have been offered this as a prize for some fund raising but the PPL isn't totally sure about the legalities, i.e. could it be classed as a commercial flight?
Reading through this forum I can't see why as there appears to be plenty of people offering seats in return for cost sharing, is there a difference?
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers.

Assuming the flight is going to be conducted by the PPL then it is different from a trial lesson.
However the CAA have provided an exemption to allow such flights subject to certain conditions/limitations.
The following AIC describes what is permissable

Cost Sharing
I have some concerns about the advertising of seats on a public site such as this...
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/1428/summa..._transport.pdf
Indicates that for cost sharing (my italics) :
(Page 7).
The same document covers the various options for charitable/non-commercial and commercial flight.

Indicates that for cost sharing (my italics) :
No advertising (except within a flying club operating the flight in which all adult persons carried must be a member).

This was discussed at length a couple of months ago, have a search for Charity Flight.
AFAIK So long as the pilot does not receive any money for the flight it does not constitute a commercial flight and the pilot must make his contribution to the flight. But I could be very very wrong so I suggest:
DO do a search for the other post, it went into it in some detail.

Thanks for all the information, much appreciated. So we could do it as all the money from the raffle would be going to a registered charity, problem is the PPL doesn't meet the PIC criteria. Oh well worth a try.
