But it is electronic now, so we should all be happy.
Worst case I'll have to keep instructing at the old rate of 2 beers per flight hour.
Never thought about not logging flight time would keep you out of trouble.I once saw a ruling that stated a low time pilot ferrying an aircraft for free was being compensated by building flighttime.

FAA took the position that anyone volunteer towing for a gliding club was receiving compensation in the form flight time and a commercial certificate was required. It took a lot a back and forth between Soaring Society of America and FAA to get that resolved. At one point FAA was going to allow private pilots to tow as long as they didn't log the flight time! I couldn't stand the bullshit and got a restricted commercial (later became unrestricted).

The FAA’s definition of compensation is very broad, I’m sure receiving beer falls within their definition. I once saw a ruling that stated a low time pilot ferrying an aircraft for free was being compensated by building flighttime.
As for training in my Exp? I have lots of volunteers for that. No money required.
What if you charge for ground instruction and fly for free if you don’t have a medical? This about sums up my recent experience with the faa. They are going to make outlaws out of all of us

What is the difference between "Ferry pilots trying to build time" and "Ferry pilots flying for the fun of it"?Ferry pilots trying to build time, with a private certificate seem to figure regularly there, and several have been bit by the FAA.

I accumulated a lot of hours in a lot of different types of airplanes, Not once was any of it for any other reason than flying for the fun of it. In the end, it helped finding jobs, but finding jobs and getting flying "tickets" was not the purpose.
