Econwatson..interest in line 2 noted. Good luck with what you wish to do.
Unfortunately we could have had all that and more 20 years ago, when the Minister and the Board (Bored ?) adopted the new COOP/ Classification of Operations Policy that allowed that a pvt pilot, his "toolbox"..(a camera even !), and an aircraft could make a profit.
After all the proposed changes spruiked in Safety Digests and other docs , it all got washed away by the intransigence of the "experts" to change and freedoms from control that the COOP would bring.
Neither the board or the minister drove it through or bothered to care that it never reached fruition...so CAsA "management" proved once again that they can fcuk off a good idea if they dont like it, or it doesnt suit their agenda..
At last CAsA has got to the 20th century ( as in April 1997 with that bit),but they still have a VERY long way to go, if GA is to be saved.
What remained still 'criminal' then..ie making money from photography using an aircraft is now/or will be legal, due to the new medical criteria,..if and when it all comes to pass..."sometime in 2018" ?
Two decades of lost opportunities. CAsA is some clusterfcuk alright.
