Max Tow,
Something doesn't jell here.
Either it is a private flight, or it is not, what kind of an AOC does this mob have??
If they are saying it is a private flight, cost share, that is NOT under any relevant AOC.
For the pilot, for a private operation, the only CASA qualification is to have a current Private Pilot's License, which means a valid minimum Class 2 medical certificate and recency.
Tootle pip!!
