(c) the aeroplane does not carry on board any persons other than:
(i) a patient mentioned in paragraph 6 (2) (a), and any other passenger who accompanies a patient to provide support and assistance
This instrument will dictate to pilots who can fly with them on a private flight!
i often take a mate, wife or family member, Earth Angel, Angel Flight staff or someone else along for the ride on an Angel Flight. This is now prohibited. I understand that Angel Flight have agreements in place with some airlines to carry Angel Flight clients and carers due to cancellations, etc. Does one of these flights constitute a CFS? Under the Instrument, no other passengers are to be carried.
Yet, further down in this goobledygook a CFS is limited to 5 passengers. Obviously all clients or carers.
i can not see how this improves safety!
