I do believe ( but dont trust me !!) that you can fly a corporate aircraft and be paid with your CPL and dont need any other aoc nonsense . I also believe you can get paid even with a ppl so long as your main duties are other things and you just happen to like to fly the corporate heli
Just like leasing v charter the devil is in the detail . You must engineer it that the flight is private , no fare paying pax and then you even have the benefit of being able to use Battersea without floats and also another London helipad that most aoc,s are not allowed to use .......i know , but i didnt write the rules !!!
