Huck, is it about the 200hr commercial (common outside USA) or the Part 135 or equivalent regs (ex-JAR ops required more TT/ME PIC, so does US FAA) ? I'm not sure under what country's regs or 'copy of' the aircraft was operated, so can't tell. I'd be interested to know, too.
I'm not talking about the sad accident outcome, neither mx stuff, nor the pilot's abilities, or connecting any of the earlier. Just interested to know the regs governing air taxi/charter ops in this case.
