I know what the licenses are (private and commercial), but I'd like to know if I'd be able to take someone for a ride on a private license, or if that's just to fly solo.

Thanks!

  1. A license is a license.  One allows you to fly your own helo and one allows you to fly for a company, taking passengers for hire.  Either way, you can take passengers up to the number of seats you have.


  2. Once you get your private pilot's certificate, you can take passengers for helicopter rides. However, if you wanted to charge them for giving them rides, you would need a commercial certificate. It is alright for passengers to split the cost of gas and expenses to operate the helicopter. Just as long as you're not making profit, a private pilot certificate is fine.
