Franklin, you are but your aircraft is not. Registering an aircraft for commercial use is much more onerous than what we went through earlier this year. I looked into it for my Company's marketing department who had been using a quad for photo work. I left it with them and said "good luck."

Yep, there are some hoops, but it's not my entire fleet, just a few of them. I figure it's worth it. Also, I think that should someone complain and LEO or someone else show up and ask questions, it's way easier and likely to be more accepted than an AMA card.
