Hello everyone,
I'm planning to purchase a plane (haven't decided yet if I'll be a single owner or group ownership) and I'm wondering if I can hire out my plane in future?
I.e can I advertise my plane online for private hire by other pilots and charge them hourly rate?
I've got a response from CAA below, but I'm still not very clear. I'm new to UK and trying to understand the rules.
Does this mean that if I'm the owner or I own aircraft share, it cannot be rented out privately?

A part-21 aircraft can be rented out for private self-fly hire if it has a Certificate of Airworthiness, a valid Airworthiness Review Certificate, and is maintained in accordance with Part-M/ML by an approved Part-CAMO/CAO organisation.
In order for it to be considered non-commercial, the aircraft owner would need to establish a non-equity ownership group and rent the aircraft out that way.
