"S/E turbine is a no no on AOC (VFR day only) not too helpful in Northern Europe!"
I thought this was the case, so how come I saw a single engined turboprop with a fully uniformed crew of 2 collecting several passengers from my local airport yesterday to fly to another UK destination through WX that did not have a hope of being VFR? Is this the loophole that fractional ownership (rather than charter on an AOC) allows?
Don't get me wrong, I am in favour of SE (turbine) commercial IFR but am just wondering how the rules are being legally circumvented.
