AOC
I would say with great confidence no. The helicopters that I know operate without a maintenance release. There is no entry in the POH about the fixed floats or a revised weight so you have no idea what it weighs. There are no flight and duty times or check flights by a CP. You operate the aircraft with no idea of component times, they call the maintenace on condition meaning if it works, it remains. I don't no why the regulators, CASA in this case leave Tropic alone. I guess it's because they are based in Pohnpei. For what it's worth,
Richard.
