A typical private pilot flies an airplane for reasons including pleasure, personal travel and business travel. It’s not unusual for passengers or even a boss to offer the pilot money to cover the cost of the flight in the same manner as reimbursing for car expenses. While this seems reasonable, the pilot must be careful to avoid violating FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Regulation 61.113 which prohibits a private pilot from flying for compensation or hire. The regulation is clear in its prohibition but not clear in the definition. A pilot may inadvertently violate this regulation by accepting any form of payment without recognizing when reimbursement is and is not allowed.

Terms as Applied to FAA 61.113

"Compensation" is commonly thought of as money or other exchange of services. It’s important to recognize that the FAA considers free flight time as compensation, even though there is no profit.
