>The consensus of opinion I have heard is that the charges probably relate to the basis of the flight, not the cause of the accident. The aircraft was not registered in the EU, so it is very unlikely to have been a legitimate charter.
There are only two other options, a private flight or an illegal charter. The way people sometimes try to get away with illegal charters is by saying "he was a mate, he only paid me some of the costs to borrow my aircraft" (which people get away with sometimes). If not true, that might be considered perverting the course of justice, although only a court could decide of course.>
Lost man standing
Why because it was not registered in the EU was it "very" unlikely to be a legitimate charter?
That implies that if it was registered in the EU it would be?
Dont really want to go down the legal and illegal charter arguement again check that previous thread but you can legitmately lease a private aircraft EU or Non EU and you can pay pilots to fly it for you.
A large proportion of business jets do that
