Is it a question of whether they were compensated or whether the art was used commercially?
i.e. if a private pilot takes a friend along and the friend later sells said pictures to a magazine.
- FireBeyond 12y agoMy feeling is that a coincidental situation like that should be acceptable (the FAA may well disagree). In terms of sharing costs (or accepting compensation) for rides, there is often a straight face test - is it genuinely and sincerely a shared interest in undertaking a flight, with a goal (outside the flight itself) for both the pilot and passenger. If not, then it's considered commercial. The FAA rightly or wrongly tends to view "nudge nudge wink wink" stuff on the conservative side.
