What makes flight safety is that the pilot or the organisation imposes to themselves safety rules, and well thought safety rules.
For an AOC holder, 95% of these rules are imposed on the organisation by regulation.
For a private pilot, regulations also imposes some rules but most of the safety comes from the good judgement of the pilot, something which is optional.
Some of the rules imposed on AOC holders are hardly available to the private pilot, like flying in crew (with MCC training) for all flights at night.
Unfortunately, several common safety rules have been broken on that flight.
