According to the CP the FI has completed an unauthorised AoC trip/s by responding to the MayDay and then repositioning whilst helping the paramedic.
Must have a strange Ops Manual. There were three people onboard this instructional flight. I can't see where it changed to an AOC or CAT flight - even with the paramedic onboard the flight could still retain instructional status.

Of course, if the poor FI has to pay the extra flight time, he could try to reclaim that cost from the insurers for the fixed wing. But then someone's paying the bill - and the AOC pops its head up.

What a bollox. And what a prat CP. Soon we'll all know his name - and this is a small world. Let's club together and buy him some superglue for his lips as a Christmas present.
