So you say that “agricultural operations on land owned and occupied by the owner of the aircraft” are private operations for which an AOC is required.
Again: Congratulations on reaching aviation regulatory nirvana!
And you haven’t even got to CAR 2(6) or 2(8) yet!
CAR 206 is headed “commercial purposes (Act, s 27(9))“. Section 27(9) has not included the phrase “commercial purposes” for over twenty f*cking years.
You are trying to make sense out of the product of decades of abject incompetence.
