AOC based on a dream and a web site is not possible, even in Africa
True it takes more than a dream and a website.
You need money. Everything is possible with money in Africa. Manuals are easy to get and some CAA inspectors will sell you a set that they ensure will be approved, as for the aircraft inspection that can be dealt with as well by talking to the CAA for exemptions to start operations using a wet lease aircraft and setting a future date (that always gets extended) to add an aircraft to the registry.
The good old days of west african AOC's were they appoint one of your company employees as a CAA inspector and send a set of CAA stamps by DHL are over but with contacts and money anything is still possible in Africa.
