Which privilege is granted to a private pilot?

A private pilot has the privilege to demonstrate an aircraft to a prospective buyer if they meet certain requirements, including having a minimum of 200 hours of flight time. This privilege allows the pilot to showcase the aircraft's capabilities while operating it in a manner compliant with regulations. During these demonstrations, the prospective buyer can be flown as a passenger, and the private pilot is not allowed to receive compensation for the demonstration, which keeps the flight within the legal framework established for private pilots.

The other options present privileges that either exceed what a private pilot is authorized to do or contradict FAA regulations. For instance, acting as a flight instructor requires a flight instructor certificate, which a private pilot does not have. Carrying passengers for compensation is also beyond the scope of a private pilot’s privileges, as they may not receive any payment or compensation for their services. Additionally, flying without a medical certificate is not permitted; private pilots must possess a valid medical certificate in order to act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft. This ensures that all pilots meet the necessary health standards required for flying.
