Commercal Ops

There is still a grey area with para-drops that has been debated and im sill unsure about so correct me if I am wrong. A display team is jumping into the local footy game and there isn't a DZ/jump aircraft available close to the location. How ever they manage to hire a C172 from the local flying club/school and remove the seats door ect so that it is converted to a jumpship. The demo is a commercial op as the display team is getting paid and making a profit and the hire of the aircraft is also a commercial op under the flying club/schools AOC. Now as it is not 'club' type skydiving operation the pilot only needs to hold a CPL and not the new APF authorisation.
