I’ve worked in an airline where this was the case. Used when the CEO didn’t have any aviation experience (or perhaps that’s the structure Airnorth want!).
Yes, accountable person. Meaning the individual has the approval from CASA, not the position of COO and whomever fills it being accountable.
The COO position itself isn’t accountable to CASA.
