photography
I'd like to see the FAR that says anything about a private pilot shooting his own pics on speculation, and then selling them as not being legal. What I'm not sure is that if you can do this on a "for hire" basis and/or advertise if you take the photos YOURSELF. I know many private pilots publish books of aerial photos and things like that. Remember on the FAR's if it doesn't say you CAN'T do it, you can...
So I would think that you could teach your friend how to fly straight and level, have him come up the plane and do that while you take the movies.
Then you charge him for the MOVIES YOU TOOK, while you were PIC.
(not the safest thing to do obviously)
FAR 61.115 states
(b) A private pilot may, for compensation or HIRE, act as pilot in commmand of an aircraft on connection with any business or employment if
(1) the flight is only incidental to that business or employent; and
(2) the aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.
"incidental" seems to be the key word here...anyone?
