Years ago we had an Ops Inspection where the CAA (then) guy said...I hope you are not flying jobs interstate.
Having just just come back from an NT project, I wondered... What the !!!...and took the 'safer' option and replied NO.
He gave me a spiel about an INTRAstate Licence...more confusion in my head as Air Nav charges then covered the country, didnt they..?
I had a chat with the Qld dept of Transport and on explaining what we did...not fare paying passenger carriage, the guy just laughed and said...Enjoy your travels INTERstate...nothing to do with us for your operation.
Yet another example of the "Experts" not knowing their arsk from their elbow.
