Guys, heads up.
If you do not hold a current CIR, you cannot operate NVFR for charter operations.
Refer to CAO 40.2.1 Para 14 for the ADDITIONAL aeronautical and recency requirements above a bare NVFR to be able to operate charter NVFR.
Yup, thanks for that. I addressed it in my first post. I guess from this stems the question as to why you'd bother with a NVFR at all. That goes back to the repositioning of aircraft overnight etc I assume. Still beats me, surely it'd be easy enough for the boss to give me a week off once a year to renew the CIR if the company can't do it themselves.
