Which of the following is NOT a privilege of a Commercial Pilot License?

The privilege of carrying passengers for free is not covered under a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). While a holder of a CPL can conduct flight operations for hire or reward, and can operate as pilot in command of an aircraft, the specific act of carrying passengers without compensation does not align with the regulations defining commercial pilot privileges.

PPL privileges allow for flights where a pilot can carry passengers, but it is specifically for non-commercial purposes. Thus, while the CPL encompasses all the privileges of a Private Pilot License—including carrying passengers—doing so for free doesn't utilize the commercial aspect of the CPL.

This distinction is important because the focus of a CPL is on conducting flight operations that are compensated, reflecting the pilot's qualification to operate in a commercial environment.
