"Aerial photography" has no relationship to a photographer taking a photograph with a hand held camera out the side window of the aircraft. The difference between whether that photographer is an amateur or professional is irrelevant and is merely economic regulation by CASA, not safety regulation.
Torres,
You will just love this one.
The wonderful line of logic runs thus: Only aircraft with a standard C.of A can be used for CAR 206/AOC purposes (not true), therefor Limited Cat. C.of A. or Experimental Exhibition cat. aircraft cannot be used as camera platforms, therefor the two favorite camera platforms (because you can open the canopy in flight) a T-6/Harvard or a T-28 cannot be used.
Bill McIntyre went one further, he claimed he had legal advice that, not only did you need a standard cat. photo. platform, but you could only take pics
OF other standard cat. C.of A aircraft.
Presumably making all involved in the thousands of pics. of "warbirds" in many magazines guilty of strict liability offenses.
Why make life difficult, if you can make it bloody impossible.
That kind of thinking is alive and well in CASA today.
Tootle pip!!
