The aircraft had to be owned / hired by the business or individual doing the hauling. Worked well in the outback.
Does anyone know if such a provision exists in Part 61 land?
And yes I have tried looking but find the new simpered regs anything but. Good job CASA.

The definition of "passenger transport operation" I've quoted above is in the Dictionary in the CASRs.
If an operation falls within the definition of "passenger transport operation", it falls within the scope of Part 121 or Part 135. PPL PIC verboten.
If an operation does
not fall within the definition of "passenger transport operation", the answer to the question whether a PPL can be PIC depends...
Good luck.
