Cameron> I am NOT Commercial certified. Would it be legal if the
Cameron> company were to reimburse me directly for my expenses? If Cameron> so, how do I need to go about it? Can the pay me directly Cameron> for my expenses, or pay the FBO where I rent, etc? My understanding is that its legal as long as the flying is incidental to the work. That is, if you have to go somewhere and you just happen to go by air, as opposed to being paid to fly somewhere. I dont think you need a commercial ticket. Cameron> Next question, would it be legal if I had a fellow work Cameron> colleague with me in the aircraft (for the same purpose of Cameron> the business trip) and they were to reimburse me for that Cameron> trip? My understanding is that if it is a trip that _you_ are taking, its OK to take other people along. On the other hand, if its a trip that someone else is taking, you cant offer to give that person a ride and accept reimbursement. I should point out that my understanding might be wrong. If youre serious about wanting to know for sure, you should probably call up your local FAA office and ask. If youre nervous about calling them, then youve just answered your own question. -- Andrew Koenig, ark@research.att.com, http://www.research.att.com/info/ark |
