the purpose of transporting persons generally, or transporting cargo for persons generally, for hire or reward in accordance with fixed schedules to and from fixed terminals over specific routes with or without intermediate stopping places between terminals.. .. .CASA have determined that
all five of the following elements
must exist for an operation to be classed and defined as RPT:. .. .
1 Transporting persons or cargo. .2 For hire and reward. .3 In accordance with fixed schedules. .4 To and from fixed terminals. .5 Over specified routes. .. .Obviously, in the case quoted by nasa, item 2 and possibly items 4 and 5 do not exist.. .. .Indeed, the Civil Aviation Act 1988 does not define a
“specified route”. An interesting question to ask your friendly FOI – I would love to hear their response!. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 03 March 2002, 02:56: Message edited by: Torres ]</small>
