lease flying is not illegal if done correctly and i have confirmation from the caa
I'm not saying lease flying is illegal, but doing commercial work under the guise of lease flying, is.
My understanding is that if a pilot is about to fly an aircraft, fully expecting it to be a commercial flight, then that's what he signs for, fuelling wise. Private, the same. What happens if that changes is there should be a notification of change. We all know that that would be like one of us speeding and telling the police about it afterwards. Not really going to happen. Not if you were in the car with me the other night you wouldn't tell anyway.
(thats another story)
If lease flying accomplishes the same job as commercial flying, why have an aoc in the first place then?
the CAA will increase the charges anyway, no matter what you do. They are self regulating. Thats what people should be fighting against.
