I get asked all the time what jobs are available for someone with a private pilot license, or a private pilot certificate which is what it's actually called. SO, I decided to make a video on it. All the information you need to know about earning money flying with your PPL in 2 minutes ish minutes!
UPDATE: Paragraph (g) of 61.113 does provide a way for a private pilot to have a job as a tow pilot. But, like we said in the video, most commercial operations are going to hire a commercial pilot for the job. Experience and insurance are huge factors, the latter often times prohibiting the use of private pilots. Some of you mentioned this in the comments. Regardless, I dug in a bit more and am having a hard time finding places that actually employ private pilots in a way that it would constitute as a job. I even contacted a glider school about it and they confirmed you can make money, but not a livable wage. If you have any more information on the subject, please chime in!
DISCLAIMER: We typically put this on screen but please realize this video is for informational purposes only, please don't mistake it for actual training from a certificated instructor.
