A number of pilots, who instead of just quietly go about their flying, enter into protracted discussion about trying to find exactly the point up to which something is legal!
What's wrong with that? Maybe if more people did that, there would be less violations.
Well.... Like many things in flying, the wise pilot always leaves themself some margin between what they plan to do, and the limit of the rule. The rules associated with this are pretty clear.
I can't help but detect a hint of "just keep it quiet and do it anyway" in your post, which is quite unfair to the pilots who want to keep everything legal and have discussions to find out what is acceptable.
No intended, just follow the rules. Seeming to ask how to get around them, or pretending that you can't understand the regulation does not put a pilot in a good light. If the question were: "Can you point me to the CAR about...", or, "I've read CAR 401.28, and there's this one aspect I'm having trouble interpreting", that's nicely different than:
I haven't been able to find a direct answer in the CAR's
if it would be legal for me to put an ad on Kijiji offering flights
CAR 401.28 (1), (2)(a), (b), and (c) which seem to be a direct answer to the question.
but I need to be completely positive before doing this.
Very wise.
And, just 'cause I'm unsure after reading the interpretation in CAR 101.01, does anyone know: Is a pilot who rents a plane the "operator" for the purpose of CAR 410.28(2)(a)? I'm thinking not, as I expect the entity renting the plane out would be the operator, whether they actually own it, or lease it from someone else. I'm thinking a lease is different to a rental, but I've never delved into that.
