Basically you almost need an AOC manual for aerial work with supplements explaining what and how you do the various sections of aerial work e.g. parachuting, lifting , line patrol etc etc
Yes, but if you're classed as commercial high risk then you require a high risk authorisation HRA issued by the CAA prior to you starting the operation - unless something has changed?? And by the looks of things, the CAA is pretty much classing most activities as high risk.
If you apply for an HRA then the CAA want to see your SOPs and your organisation management system oro.gen.200 - effectively wanting to see your manual, if you decide to go that way.
That's the way I've understood it - not a huge amount of guidance available.
