Er - how was a PPL with any amount of hours "doing a passenger charter"?????
Even for Africa that's coming it a bit strong, isn't it?
Is he being prosecuted? If not why not?
Still, when I was operating from Wilson there was a British company operating a King Air that it was touting around the UN and NGOs as being fully certificated to UK Public Transport standards - but with a private cat C of A so anything is possible I suppose. Doesn't take much to stop that sort of nonsense though, if you've a mind to.
