RMK: Topic moved from "Flight/Ground Ops, Crewing and Dispatch"
Hi All...during all these last years since IOM-Regs was created i've never have seen any deviation from the Typical IOM » "M"-reg planes regarding the FPL Field 4 (Type of Flight) wich was/is always filled as "G":

And:
http://www.gov.im/lib/docs/ded/aircr...ringaircr1.pdf
"1. Aircraft registered in the Isle of Man are onlyfor private and corporate use, not commercial airtransport or aerial work"
And at the Main IOM Law Itself:
PART 2
Prohibition of use for Public Transport or Aerial Work
5. Prohibition of use for public transport or aerial work :
Save in the case of a transfer of functions under Article 83 (bis) of the Chicago Convention, an aircraft registered in the Isle of Man shall not fly on any flight for the purpose of public transport or aerial work.
All "M" planes based from all over the world, operators even with AOCs, using 3 letter code callsigns, etc etc, as long as the FPL are filled with an M-regs, they are always be very careful in using "G" instead of a "S" or "N" , these two last ones lead us to an operator with an AOC/ACC/similar, (despite being Schedule, Non-Schedule, Taxi or similar, as long its engaged in CAT .)
NO M-reg plane could fly under any AOC or similar.
Even TNT Lears M-reg and Ryanair M-lears are all the time "G"...but there cames my doubt...:
These last days Ryanair "M-reg" Lears are flying with an "N"-Non Schedule Commercial/Public transportation along Europe, on their FPLs, instead of the usual and traditional "G".
Is this Legal?
AFAIK the RYR AOC doesnt include Lears neither IOM Policy allows M-ABEU to fly Non-Schedule Transport, cause the law basically remains as "No FPL with M-reg should be filled without a field 4 as "G".
Do they have any special authorization to fly under the AOC of RYR, issued by the IOM or Ireland, wich i think its not the case, cause RYR AOC only includes 737-800?
Or is the IOM changing, or even Eurocontrol not policing this item, or is it an operational bug // mistake?
Tanx for you inputs, cheers
ATT: This question is merely and entirely professional and operational...its NOT to say badthings about A or B!
