If CAR206 was solely about passenger safety, why then does is specifically include "....transporting cargo for persons generally"?
Torres the thing here is "persons generally". No bank runner / freight operator is carrying freight for "persons generally", they are chartered by say Freds Freight to shift the parcels dropped off to them. Even if this is to a fixed schedule it is not RPT. Nobody can walk up to the aircraft at port A and hand over a parcel and some money wanting said parcel taken to port B. If they could that is "persons generally" and now becomes RPT. This is the CASA interpretation of the rules the several times I have had the discussion. What they think now who knows -
did I imply CASA thinks!?!
