The airplane was rented, hence operated for “compensation or hire”?
Or is it the purpose of the flight they relate to? Never really gotten this answer straight from anyone…

An example for the last option would be; a flight-school that in addition to doing flight lessons, rents out airplanes for rental flights.
If you are going up with your instructor, you will need your landing lights, because the instructor is flying for compensation. Right?
What if you two also are friends and want to rent the airplane and go for a short flight? Would this require the landing light? This takes me back to the first questions…

I would imagine that the purpose of the flight is what counts.

Then, what if your friend (which is also an instructor) decide to make the rental flight a flight-lesson, but he won't charge you anything? On the contrary, he will pay you 50% of the expenses for the flight…
