No, a private pilot cannot fly for hire or reward. You need a commercial pilot, who is trained and tested to a higher standard.

Hope they are not drop bears.

Not so as far as I know. Most new transponders in new aircraft may be ADSB capable but don't have to have a GPS source installed.

Yes of course, thanks.

What’s with the fixed nosewheel on VH-TVP?

It would be OK if he had an ASIC.

But no entry to CTA without a current class 1 or 2 medical.

Assuming this is alcohol related. I was a teenager learning how to handle alcohol ( and often not) when I was also learning to fly. But I cannot conceive of thinking it would be ok to go flying when pissed. Even in my worst moments.

But did he have an ASIC?

Plenty of them in Alaska.

CU

Just a highly strung pilot.

Do you have any photos to prove you were there?

Weaving and looking back over your shoulder.

I reckon I did my best ever short take-off yesterday without trying.
