Pilotage Moto

I am intending to fly a ferry flight (Cessna Cardinal, not RG) from Tennessee to Texas. I intend to have a pilot fly me to the departure point. That pilot will return home after dropping me off.

Both of us are Commercial/Instrument.

I will not take any money for this. I will take the flight hours as my compensation.

For the trip to the departure point, the owner of the aircraft I will ferry will cover the costs. During the ferry flight, the owner will cover the cost.

I am looking for areas where I am legally exposed. It seems that for my friend to fly me to Tennessee would ALMOST count as ‘on demand’ but, then again, he could fly for money on demand, non-scheduled. (one of my concerns)

I am not taking $$, but the hours in my logbook will count as compensation, which shouldn’t be a problem, as I am instrument rated.

Basically, I’m looking for someone to point me in the right direction to find the answers. There are so many places I could look, so I’m trying to simplify it.

Anything will be helpful. More or less I’m looking for a FAR that would address the above described relationships.

Any insight? Please advise.

Thanks!

hello, i was majoring in aviation but found out they get pay really less until like when you’re 50 when you’re a captain thats when you start making alot. i dont want to be making less than all of my friends when i get out of college.

what major would you recommend? im interested in cars..and i dont want to be a lawyer, doctor, nurse? what other options do i have? if you’re suggesting a job please tell me how the salary is, thanks to grizz: ugh i do rather do what i love to do than do it for money, but face it, money makes you happy and i know money dont buy everything.

plus piloting gives 15k/year start off, if you can live with that then good for you, not me.

Theres enough equity in the house to be able to live for at least 5 years at a comfortable level. I would be able live my dream of going to college, attend classes fulltime, concentrate on aviation school and get my degree within 2 years. I would graduate with a commercial pilots license but am uncertain as to what my salary or job prospects would be. I live in a hot housing market where I can no longer afford to buy a house thus my question.

I really need to know the BEST. I want a school that can make you a pilot in Philipine Airlines or other airlines. I want an aviation school that can make you big time or a person who earns lot of money. What aviation school is the best? How much for the whole course?
