IO540 – Thanks for your reply. Point taken, but the a/c in question does have the requisite public transport category C of A. Cf. ANO Article 130 sub 3.8.3 which reads in part: “. . . In particular, a member of the group cannot pay an instructor to train him in the group owned aircraft [which has no transport category C of A].”
Thanks Charlie Fox – I have already looked at that AIC.
