The real laugh about having an AOC is where you can land and where you cant.
Here's an example PPLH with less than 100 hours can take 4 pax and land in a EC120 at The Saunton Sands Hotel perfectly legally. Yet the same aircraft on an AOC with a professional pilot in with say 10000 hours on type is not allowed to land there as the site does not have 550m take off run ( that is the distance required for a 120) Now please tell me SS which would you prefer to be a pax in ?
I'll take the one that doesn't crash just outside the pub thanks!
