(a) the flight is conducted using an aircraft with a maximum seat configuration of not more than 6, including the pilot’s seat; and
WTF is with this maximum configuration of 6 seats rubbish, again, just make it no more than 6 POB. All this does is reduce safety, Joe pilot forced to squeeze his 5 mates into a Saratoga to play golf, when he has a Navajo available. So we have more news of an overloaded 6 seater having issues. Stupid rules that have no safety basis and actually reduce safety if they knew anything about aviation.
