What is the official ID of this bill?
The official print number for this legislation is S 1996.
Volunteer Pilot Support Act: Reimbursement for Charitable Flight Costs.
This law makes it easier for highly qualified volunteer pilots to conduct charitable flights, such as medical transport or disaster relief. It allows them to be reimbursed for operational costs (like fuel or aircraft rental) without being classified as commercial operators. This change increases the availability of free air services provided by non-profit organizations.
Key points
Volunteer pilots can now be reimbursed for fuel, rental fees, and other operational costs incurred during charitable flights for non-profit groups.
These flights are exempt from strict commercial safety regulations, but passengers must be notified of this difference.
Pilots must meet high experience standards (e.g., 500 hours as pilot in command) to qualify for this reimbursement exception.
