So 2008 audit suggests the AOC specifies charter operations. The 2008 audit states that CASA is watching PelAir closely.
Aircraft ditches to 2009 as no alternate fuel - which would have been required for charter.
The operator claims no alternate fuel was required as it was aerial work.
The 2009 special audit (following the crash) states the flight was aerial work. The preamble to this 2009 audit is worded more vaguely than the 2008 audit regarding the categories of operations permitted under the AOC.
2010 email within CASA stating no record of any change from charter to aerial work.
All very odd. Did the AOC change between March 2008 and November 2009? If so, how? During a period when CASA was closely monitoring the operator.
