This group gets the money when someone pays for the ride, the buyer gets the boat ride, the captain gets nothing but a warm fuzzy feeling for contributing to the charity. This is clearly not a part of any business, and the captain is not in this business anyway. Has the captain received compensation for this according to USCG regulations? Does this mean s/he needs chartering insurance, has to be documented, etc. to do this annually? Capt. Jeff I would expect that if there is no valuable consideration to the master, he is not chartered. I know the situations are not identical, but in light aircraft, I and many other private pilots have provided rides for boy scouts and other youth organizations. One expects to be persued regardless, if one commits some breach of reasonable care in the circumstance, all the same. Brian Whatcott Altus OK Brian, USCG Captains do not, to my knowledge, have the documented protection afforded to them as Private Pilots do via FAR 61.113..... without clear regulatory guidance, the safest course would be to pose this to the local MSO (perhaps in writing) and act accordingly.... I hear you Brian W |
