Like I said last night, read the audit report. Ben is on to it, Pel-air should have been grounded based on that audit report. I've been Chief Pilot for regional airline and a large turboprop charter company and if we got that many RCA's they would have grounded us.
Pel-air had RCA's for training, operational control, maintance issues etc. And it appears the MIL ops had/have their own culture and don't really care about civil regs although they operate under a civil AOC.
