Approval of aoc last year

Dark warrior, my mate and I applied for and were granted a se-vfr aoc last year. We were told by casa it would take 6 months for simple charter and air work, ended up taking 9 months and $10,000. Operations manual was written in conjunction with an existing operator and amended to suit our needs. Already approved by casa yet they sent me pages and pages of unnecessary amendments, none of which were safety or operational issues, rather many were the personal opinion of the foi. It is a frustrating process but it is still possible if you have the time, the determination and also the cash to keep your head above water whilst you wait. Pm me if you want more info or have any questions.
