Hi there,
we are running company with non complex aircraft management for private owners (btw some of them flying themselves, some of them using our crew). Until now we were operating under aerial works. I am trying to get into new CAT, NCO etc. stuff without success to figure out which box we should put ourselves in.
It is not CAT, as the owners flies privately. On the other side it is not NCO as we operate their a/c for some peanuts. It isn't commercial SPO too, because owners are not hanging on rope.
Is there something else in commercial category, but not CAT? In EASA definitions I can see mentioning differencies between "commercial operation" and "commercial air transport", but no advice what is needed only for commercial ops without CAT.

Thanks for any advice
