Quello che qui è considerato da qualcuno reato da impiccagione in carcere, cioè mandare in giro un Learjet con il solo comandante abilitato on Type, nella patria dell'aviazione (gli USA) è prassi comune e soprattutto lecita
Scusa I-FORD, ma è lecito solo nei termini sottoindicati (e comunque con autorizzazione), e non mi sembra il caso in questione; tra l'altro secondo me non è la stessa cosa non avere il type o averne uno falso.
Comunque, regole a parte, la prassi comune era quella dell'eurojet, e da diversi anni purtroppo, e MOLTI (per non dire tutti) sapevano...tragedia annunciata.
