Folks:



I am not a bit surprised by what is reported at WS Airshow.  Civil Air Patrol provides cadet orientation flights for cadet members of the program.  A year or two ago, the FAA determined that if the pilots who were flying the cadets logged the flight time they were being compensated for flying.  The extrapolation was that pilots were not paying for the fuel on those flights so they were logging free time that many pilots use toward experience requirements for higher ratings.  They also dictated that pilots must be commercial rated.



The FAA and CAP finally resolved the issue after much legal wrangling.



So, now you see how the FAA can extrapolate anything they want.  As always, they put the burden on CAP and CAP pilots to resolve the matter.
