ESSENTIAL PASSENGER INFORMATION
The following information is essential reading if you are intending to fly as a passenger on a cost sharing flight. Ensure you have read and understood this information before commencing your flight. By signing this declaration (either for yourself or on behalf of someone else1), you are confirming that you fully understand and accept in full the risks that can be involved in flying as a passenger on a cost sharing flight.
Cost sharing flights are flights undertaken by private individuals; the 'cost-shared' element is inreference to the costs of the specific flight which can be shared only between the pilot and othersonboard the aircraft. These are the 'direct costs' which are those directly incurred in relation to aspecific flight (e.g. fuel, airfield charges, rental fee for an aircraft). There can be no element of profit for the pilot as these flights are not commercial. If the flight generates profit for the pilot they will be operating outside of the regulations and therefore in breach of the law, potentially rendering any insurance invalid.
The contribution towards the direct costs of the flight by the pilot must not be less than the total direct cost divided equally by the number of people on board.
You are intending to undertake a flight for which the safety rules are not as stringent as they are for commercial air transport flights where the aircraft, pilots, and operators are subject to more frequent checks and stricter oversight rules by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
