I am not sure how many ppl,s are doing work ...not many i would guess and then only with friends. ( which you could never prove ).
Some of the constraints are for instance ...i can fly you into Battersea on pvt but it would be illegal on an aoc ....same goes for Vanguard , same goes for the average medium sized garden , same goes for at night etc etc
It will be impossible to stop lease flying as , as someone said earlier , there will always be ways around it ...just like tax !! What the CAA should do is take away the huge reasons for NOT wanting to have an AOC. Just make it sensible .....even half sensible would be a start . If they do attack lease flying it will be the clubs and flying schools that will be hit hardest......i will then be doing fractional ownership
ps can anyone tell me if there is any difference between a lease or aoc flight if the heli and pilot are both the same ....? Yes , just a bundle of paperwork !!!
