So,to a casual observer;he flies the owner around the country to the owner`s work; he hires in another helicopter to do similar jobs; he only has an FAA ppl; the second aircraft is UK registered;he does not have an Irish or UK licence,and/or UK residence? If ,he only has an FAA licence,how can he fly a UK registered helo,without a valid type rating--the rest of us have to have one,for each type? He is obviously very rich,as he must pay half of the operating costs,for his friend`s trips to work,which we all know he does,as a friendly PPL,or ,would that be too presumptious???
Later;Strange that it doesn`t feature on the UK AAIB investigations site,even though someone was seriously injured; and the UK de-registered the a/c a
week later !!
Even later; and according to the Accident report,the a/c was overdue an inspection,by `adjusting `times incorrectly, invalidating the Cof A...!
