Otherwise, the agency ruled, there exists a danger that passengers “will contract with pilots who in fact lack the experience and credentials of commercial pilots.” While this may seem like semantics, the fact of the matter remains that private and commercial pilots are subjected to rather disparate levels of scrutiny. While both must abide by FAA safety regulations, the three-judge panel noted, “Regulators have good reasons to distinguish between pilots who are licensed to offer services to the public and those who are not.” |
