So I can ferry an aircraft from DN to BNE (10 hours), arrive at 10:30 pm that night, (PVT ops), rock up to work at 6:30 the next morning and not have to consider duty limitations AT ALL???????
Bulls
it.
1.3 The holder of a pilot licence other than a private pilot licence who engages in aerial work, charter, or regular public transport operations, shall be subject to the flight
and duty time limitations specified by CASA in section 48.1 of this Part. Calculations of flight
and duty time limitations made under the provisions of section 48.1 shall take into account
any flight and duty time performed in the course of private operations.
READ THE RULES, PEOPLE.
An ops manual cannot degrade the limitations of the CAO without specific permission from CASA (ie dispensations).
And as for the question about whether 900 hrs applies to either RA or GA (ie 900 hrs each??), yeah.......
You go ahead, fly that and just tell CASA someone on PPrune told you it was OK.
