Thanks.Problem rectified. Try again new e-mail address. :)

Jerry, food for thought, you can buy the business and the aircraft but you can not transfer or buy the AOC and approvals.
You must apply for a complete new AOC and approvals even though all the operations remain the same. A narsty catch from CASA.
If CASA is still under staffed and tied in red tape, then this may take you 6 months min! It might be worth your while in cost to start your own business from scratch , therefore avoiding pay the good will of a existing business.

Sheepdog. Whilst an AOC is not transferrable, most AOC's are held by companies. You can buy a company with an AOC (i.e. purchase the shares) and thus obtain an AOC.

Just like SQ are trying to do with AN eh? :mad: :eek:

Saw this ad in this month's trader thought it might help
CHARTER AOC suit piston operation, clean company, no assets or liabilities, registered with Travel Compensation Fund, can include DG ability if required. $25,000. Melbourne Ph 0408 580 896.

Good Luck

Torres, i agree, thats if the ACN and Business name remain the same and if CASA do not find out , which they will in the first audit. Then they require a audit on you and whether you are a suitable person to hold a AOC . It might work for big companies but not for one man shows as they are a easy target. Then again the rules differ from state office to state office there is no level playing field with CASA .
