You say that with such confidence. CAR 2(6) says:
(6)For the purposes of these Regulations, an aircraft shall be classified in accordance with the type of operations in which it is being employed at any time, as follows:
(a) when an aircraft is being employed in aerial work operations, it shall be classified as an aerial work aircraft;
(b) when an aircraft is being employed in charter operations, it shall be classified as a charter aircraft;
(c) when an aircraft is being employed in regular public transport operations, it shall be classified as a regular public transport aircraft;
(d) when an aircraft is being employed in private operations, it shall be classified as a private aircraft.
Walk me through how you work out “when” the aircraft carrying the owner of the aircraft and headsets for sale is being employed in the private operations (the personal transportation of the owner) and “when” the the aircraft is being employed in aerial work (carriage, for the purposes of trade, of goods being the property of the pilot, the owner or the hirer of the aircraft). Everything’s happening at the same time.
Let’s go ‘full retard’ and say that it is possible for an aircraft to be simultaneously employed in aerial work operations and charter operations and regular public transport operations and private operations.
Go for it, andrewr!
