There should be no regulatory prohibition on the holder of an authorisation to conduct flying training being permitted to conduct flying training at multiple geographical locations through contracted entities. On my reading of Parts 141 and 142, there is no regulatory prohibition to that effect. On my understanding of the Ombudsman’s findings so far, the Ombudsman’s found no regulatory prohibition to that effect either.
What killed APTA was the practically insurmountable hurdle that was put in APTA’s way at the 11th hour and 59th minute of the application process, based on what someone in CASA woke up one day and decided was required to get the authorisation, contrary to what APTA had been led to believe by other people in CASA was sufficient up to that point.
