Never really gotten this answer straight from anyone...</p><p>An example for the last option would be; a flight-school that in addition to doing flight lessons, rents out airplanes for rental flights.<br>If you are going up with your instructor, you will need your landing lights, because the instructor is flying for compensation. Right?<br>What if you two also are friends and want to rent the airplane and go for a short flight? Would this require the landing light? This takes me back to the first questions...</p><p>I would imagine that the purpose of the flight is what counts.</p><p>Then, what if your friend (which is also an instructor) decide to make the rental flight a flight-lesson, but he won't charge you anything? On the contrary, he will pay you 50% of the expenses for the flight... </p>MatsTue, 22 Sep 2009 15:23:52 -0000
