CAR 215
HL,
I cannot comment on your particular situation.
However, have a look at CAR 215. Nowhere does it say that the Operations Manual is subject to approval by CASA (unlike, for example, a Flight Check System as per CAR 232).
All that is required is that the OM be furnished to CASA (CAR 215 (6)), that it be revised from time to time in light of experience (CAR 215 (5)) and that CASA may direct that certian information be included, revised or varied (CAR 215 (3)).
Changes to an OM are not subject to approval by CASA under CAR 215.
CAO 82.0, 82.3 or 82.5, as best as I can tell, also do not require an AOC holder to seek approval for the contents of an OM from CASA.
If you can provide a reference to the contrary I will happily stand corrected, concede my error and be thankful for the anonymity of PPRune.
