Also, on the first page at the bottom of the website you can search for previous interpretations regarding PPL and compensation. You might search for "61.113" or "private pilot compensation" or "building flight time." There are many legal interpretations on this subject. Just don't use "PPL," which is likely not an acronym in any of the interpretations. | |

| Dec 3, 2022 at 17:43 | comment | added | user22445 | Are you asking (for example): If someone, who owns an airplane, wants a PPL Pilot to fly that airplane from airport A to B (say to pick up a new alternator) and the PPL Pilot does not log the flight time (for any purposes identified in FAR 61.51), is the PPL Pilot being compensated (contrary to the FARs)? Further, are you asking if the PPL Pilot is not "building flight time" (logged) is the PPL receiving compensation? I recommend you ask this question to the FAA. On this site you will only get opinions unless someone has an on point FAA Interpretation. | |

| Dec 3, 2022 at 15:37 | comment | added | Someone | @Federico no, I'm not even a pilot. I just saw that in some cases a private pilot can't fly in a particular scenario because the flight time is considered compensation, so I was wondering if there's some way to not benefit from the flight time to avoid that. | |
