Single piston engine IFR Charter

Is it permitted these days in some of these modern single engine piper's or cessna's for example?

or is it only permited in single engine turbine powered aircraft?

Can someone smart on here refer me to the correct CAR.

Thanks

CAR 175A Restriction on IFR Charter Flights by Single Engine Aircraft

Not allowed.

It isn't allowed in single-engine turbine aircraft as-of-right, either. ASETPA approval involves a fair bit of work, plus additional check and training commitments.

Single engine VFR CHTR - no worries.
Single Piston engine IFR CHTR - NO WAY,
ASETPA - can be done, it is achievable, but a massive job dealing with CASA ( ) and the very limited number of people within CASA who have any idea about operating a Single Engine Turbine (or any aircraft for that matter) on IFR CHTR.

Mate read the text, joke was implied.

Now if you take your flying serious and you have to rely on Pprune for a question like that, then lord oh mighty.

Try logging on to the CASA web site and finding out for yourself.

I thought the FAA were clsoe to certifying the Cirrus for SE IFR? Happy to be corrected on that though. The ballistic parachute was the deciding factor though

Interestinly enough CASA seems to have dropped 'ASETPA' Approved Single Engine Turbine Powered Aircraft and now use the acronym 'ASEA' which I guess would be Approved Single Engine Aircraft. Subtle perhaps but significant. If there's an engine manufacturer who can prove a better than 1 IFSD in 100'000 hours for a piston engine maybe SE IFR CHTR could get up.

J3 Piper Cub:

The Cirrus SR22 is approved for IFR Charter in the USA as long as the operator is approved as well.

SATS Air in the USA operates a fleet of SR22 in IFR Charter.

Not sure if it was the Chute or systems that got the approval.

Met the owner when he was on holiday in NZ.

Fly on your own personal aircraft at a cost you can afford
