Narrative:
This was an IFR flight hvn to mtn, concluded successfully and without violations, but you never know! Later the same day, I flew with 2 friends VFR to aiy, and still later to hvn which was a night flight VMC and VFR through the new york class B with proper clearance. What I am afraid of is being accused of violating the far of carrying passenger for hire and not a shared expense flight. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: discussion with reporter disclosed no known anomalies. He stated that he submitted this report to just cover himself in case he was accused of making a mistake.
