I used to think I was quite savvy on this subject but after sword fighting with a few of our more astute members of the forum, I'm thinking I need to re-visit what a pilot services pilot can and cannot do.
Here's my dilemma.
A friend of mine is starting up a trucking depot in Chicago for a company out of MSP.
I told him, I would fly a piston twin for them at 350.00 a day plus expenses. In addition, they have to separately make contractual arrangements with a lessor on an aircraft, which I will advise them on, but not arrange. They will be responsible for paying he lessor and that will be between those parties.
I do have to be on the insurance of the leased aircraft, so some technical expertise will be needed by them to insure they lease the correct aircraft for their mission and that other technicalities are met.
Here's the two aircraft scenarios.
1) Private party 30 minutes away has a pristine 310 Q model he just got, with low time engines and low time airframe. He might be interested in being able to legally rent the plane to this group and place me on his insurance as the renter's pilot.
2) My old 135 operator is down the street, they would block time the organization anything they were willing to pay a lease on, from a Lance to a Conquest. Obviously I'd have to meet insurance requirements on any of the planes, but the consideration is that these planes are already meeting 135 and 91 requirements and I have a considerable time in their aircraft. The only problem here is, reliability and scheduling.
I'm still trying to hammer out some of the details in my head and we're not interested in skirting regulations, compliance is the goal.
Any thoughts?
