As for instructing without an AOC, if it's your plane or the students I can't see a problem. If you wanna use someone else's plane to give instruction that's a little different.
I think not. Don’t key personnel have to be “accepted “ by CASA? I would also have thought that not all AOCs are created equal because as Glens case appears to show, an AOC can be revoked/suspended/destroyed at the whim of a CASA staff member for any reason, real or not, at an time. That is the heart of the problem - the utterly unfettered powers of CASA to do exactly as it likes.
