REFLECTOR: Donations

That leaves the Velocities out (what a shame). I was also not aware of the notification regulation. I'm not sure I'd trust some FSDO's... others would be fine.

I know most of us get this, but there was some chatter regarding this matter a few weeks back. FYI

Here's a question asked by an AOPA member who contacted our aviation services staff through the AOPA Pilot Information Center. Test your knowledge.

 

Question: My child's school is holding a silent auction, and they have asked the parents to donate items to support the school. I would like to donate an airplane ride in my aircraft. I will be paying for all expenses involved with the flight. Will I need a commercial pilot certificate for this? 


 

Answer: No. Passenger-carrying flights for the benefit of a charitable, nonprofit, or community event are not considered commercial operations, so you don’t need to have a commercial pilot certificate. For an event such as this, FAR 91.146 requires the pilot to have a private pilot certificate with at least 500 hours of flight time, have a current medical certificate, and meet the currency requirements of FAR 61.56. The flight must begin and end at the same public-use airport and be conducted within a 25-nautical-mile radius. The aircraft must have a standard airworthiness certificate. Also, you must furnish infor
mation required in the regulation to the local flight standards district office (FSDO) a minimum of seven days before the event (not the flight). Learn more in AOPA's subject report about Charitable/Nonprofit/Community Events.
