4 pax on a hovering film job with turbulance! Thats a big no-no!
and possibly difficult to pass off as charter.

especially if there is a lingering passenger liability claim in excess of the limited liabiltiy of charter coverage.

I know its cute to go for the chtr with its statuted limited passenger liability. But in reality I believe that CASA has a bit to answer for here as they have for the last few years been trying to push most of the airwork into a corner with the soiled washing and some blessed operators certificate type of system.

They also want to push everyone else up to charter (except parachutists IMHO) or indeed RPT where clearly the operation is only charter. This means that your average 311 hour pilot hasn't got a shmick as to which category that he is supposed to be flying in.

Once again though, that blighted simple single component which has caused more crashes than many other things, has reared its ugly head.
