NEW AOC
In this present climate of CASA are you mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having personally been involved with four AOC's over my career I wonder at the sanity of new entrants.
If I was to ever do it again I would go to New Zealand, get the AOC and then use the blind provisions of cross Tasman politics to operate in Australia. Just look at Pioneer and Vincent Aviation - both used this route much to the chagrin of the CASA people.
If you are still certain you want to go down the AOC track - go and buy a PTY LTD company that holds an AOC.
What ever you do I wish you the best of luck and hope you have endless patience and of course wads of cash.
