Your confusion is that your trying to place flying ops with maintenance. You can't do this. When anything is placed on the M/R it has to be done IAW. Iaw an EO an mel a pus. If you can't do it IAW you can't do it. The lbs states what the aircraft is maintaimed to. If your
Flying a charter aircraft in private it's still maintained to charter. You just can not add anything to the M/R with out it being IAW.
The lbs states the standard of maintence. Flying ops dose NOT set the maintence. As I've said maintence is set to the highesr standard the aircraft is flying to.
