They're at it again.....

....despite the CAA attempting to 'clamp' down on operators using 'N' aircraft for charters, or any private aircraft for that matter.

Irish company contacts heli company,, based just outside regional airport, and enquires about chartering a 'twin'.
Caller offered to partake in a temporay share of heli-operator's N-reg twin - which would have been flown by FAA PPL (!) - they didn't tell them that though.

Irish company well-versed in the ways of commercial ops and went to a legitimate twin-operating aoc company.

have to hand it to them - ballsy move...............

Have you noticed how few N-reg choppers actually shutdown at special events??????
