Hi Guys,
Thanks for help with my question... and the extra info on meat bombing
I'm still kind of confused. I know an aircraft
can operate under private ops even though it has more than 6 pax plus 3 crew (who are employed as flight/cabin crew and paid for the job). It is for the purpouse of transporting the owners or his business associates or family or friends.
Think corporate aviation.. a fully loaded G5 can be operated under private ops! Why?
Would that be under a CASA exemption (which is freely given to all corporate operations) or is there another paragraph in the regs which allow this?
Thanks,
NF
From the regs (thanks PercyWhino):
(7A) An aircraft that carries persons on a flight, otherwise than in
accordance with a fixed schedule between terminals, is
employed in a private operation if:
(a) public notice of the flight has not been given by any form of public advertisement or announcement; and
(b) the number of persons on the flight, including the
operating crew, does not exceed 6; and
(c) no payment is made for the services of the operating crew;
and
(d) the persons on the flight, including the operating crew,
share equally in the costs of the flight; and
(e) no payment is required for a person on the flight other
than a payment under paragraph (d).
