Not exactly related, and more of an admin cock-up, but ...
https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2...nce-for-pilot/ Paul Holroyd (67) of Le Vieux Beaumont, St Peter, appeared in Oxford Crown Court for sentence earlier this month after he admitted not having all of the correct certifications in place. The Islander was co-piloting a US-registered Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy private jet – worth up to $30million – between 14 May and 27 October 2017 when he committed the offence. Now, the Civil Aviation Authority, which prosecuted Holroyd, said that although he held a licence to fly commercially, his ‘type-rating’ – needed to fly a particular model of plane – had not been kept up to date. A spokesman for the CAA said: ‘We are determined to take action whenever necessary to protect members of the public, including prosecuting pilots who lack the appropriate qualifications to carry out flights.’ |

That`s typical of the CAA, convict a professional pilot nearing the end of an unblemished career, for an admin oversight so as to appear to be doing something about enforcement. Easy meat, lots of records available. But where there are no records, then no action until its too late.

Front page headline news in today's Jersey Evening Post ...sadly not on-line [yet] so I will try to summarise:
Sala crash prompts illegal air 'taxi' warning At least six aircraft suspected of being used to operate illegal 'taxi' flights in and out of the Channel Islands are being closely monitored by aviation authorities, the director of civil aviation has revealed. Full article now on-line .... https://jerseyeveningpost.com/news/2...ing-monitored/ |

These are exactly the cases that should be prosecuted. |

He flew 64 flights over 5 1/2 months. That is not an admin oversight. He also entered a plea of guilty to forging documents. That is not an admin oversight. :ugh:

I came back to this thread to report that I just learned yesterday that my Jersey-based client has now ceased all recourse to such flights; now I know why.

Operator
Isle-Fly have been operating in and out of Jersey for a long time but lost out to the 'grey market'
lt looks like RVL chose the right time to purchase a new King Air. New additions to the Isle-Fly fleet How we all wish that this terrible event had never happened. Real legal alternatives have always been available. |
Interesting couple of inputs ... thank you both.
I note RVL made much of their probity in that Feb 2018 notification. |
BBC Wales has an investigation of the affair tonight (Monday 20th May) at 20:30.
|
Hmmm ... who are these people? Looks like flying an approach below minimums and ignoring ATC. Get-Home-itis with a grey charter on board? Looking forward with interest to th outcome.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0005c8d Available until April 2020. Emiliano Sala: A Family’s Search for Truth The tragic death of Emiliano Sala in a plane crash touched thousands of people across the world. BBC Wales Investigates examines the circumstances of the crash. I imagine it will be UK only but there are likely workarounds - vpn - proxy. |
Unfortunately BBC iplayer somehow blocks the use of VPNs from aboad............................

There was very little about the flight, it was mainly comments by his family and friends and his football career. |
