Spotlight,
For your information I have had quite alot to do with this.
"Confusing in your mind persons generally with general public does not change anything ", ???, ok, your point is ???, General Public "or" Public generally makes absolutley no difference.
A Scenic flight still better meets the four criteria.
In addition, CAR 206 has been in its present form for many many years, these mail runs were done 10 years ago in aircraft such as C182 / C210, why has it changed so much between then and now, and the same legislation is in place ?, any idea on that one Spotlight ?.
Aircraft were flying around the Torres Straits 10 years ago doing then in a C206 what is now done in an Islander ( not a bad upgrade in safety ), Incidently this all dramatically changed in 1999-2000, why the rapid change ?, but still the same CAR 206 is in place, then it was Charter, now it's RPT.
There are many differences in the way this reg has been applied, depending on which part of the country your are in, flowing down from this are issues such as CAAP 92 being accepted for this purpose by some area offices and not others ( the alternate method involves surveying these paddocks, at around $2,000 per strip ).
Notice that i suggest either operate as per the reg "or" change the reg to suit, that is hardly the statement of a person with a closed mind .
So to make it very easy for you to understand Spotlight, Either accept that these runs are not RPT or Make the Reg suit. Be carefull in doing so, DOTARS / Australia Post and the Station Staff would not be able to afford this RPT banner to be applied in it entirety, for example, paying for a seat if the run was operated by a Twin Otter with 2 Crew ( the seat prices would far more than double ).
The travelling public ( perhaps read RPT passengers ) are supposed to be afforded the absolute highest level of protection, which is exactly the way CASA is gearing at presesnt, These Mail Runs are stuck in the middle somewhere, in most part by "Interpretive" law, would it be easier if it was clear and concise from it's legislative head of power?.
Everyone one here is pushing a barrow, which barrow are you pushing and why so abusive ?.
