Spare chieftain seats for Birdsville Races (from YSBK)

I'm flying a chieftain out to Birdsville Races (private ops) and have a few spare seats going for a grand and a bit if anyone's interested. Departing from Bankstown.

RH control seat's still vacant and up for grabs...

Note: Whilst I'm a CPL, this is a private flight amoungst myself and some mates.

PM me.

Be careful! Note (a) & (b)

(7A) An aircraft that carries persons on a flight, otherwise than in
accordance with a fixed schedule between terminals, is employed in a
private operation if:
(a) public notice of the flight has not been given by any form of
public advertisement or announcement; and
(b) the number of persons on the flight, including the operating crew,
does not exceed 6; and
(c) no payment is made for the services of the operating crew; and
(d) the persons on the flight, including the operating crew, share
equally in the costs of the flight; and
(e) no payment is required for a person on the flight other than a
payment under paragraph (d).

Cumulative clause

Casper

They are cumulative clauses, meaning all of those conditions have to be satisfied for private operations to be satisfied. This is indicated by the "and" at the end of each paragraph. If it was "or" then they are alternative clauses meaning only one condition has to be met.

Probably stating the obvious here...

Well PPRuNe sure isn't private so I'd say the announcement has been made.

I suppose you could argue PPRuNe is a private club. Membership is required, after all...

The requirement for a max. of 6 POB will be the most limiting if the intent was to cost share every available seat.

But, but....... there are CASA approved private operations in the country that don't comply with any of those provisions.

You refer to meat bombing aka organic lawn darts aka skydiving...

Lets see now...

(a) public notice of the flight has not been given by any form of
public advertisement or announcement; and
- Nope, I seen me an ad-ver-tize-ment showen a plane innit!

(b) the number of persons on the flight, including the operating crew,
does not exceed 6; and
- I might be wrong on this one, but tandem masters don't qualify as a 'person' I think has something to do with already being dead inside and not having a soul... Or maybe when you glue the TM to the paying customer, they are only counted as one 'person'...

(c) no payment is made for the services of the operating crew; and
Hahahahahahaha... Payment. That was their word, not mine. I got paid more for taking the garbage out when I was 6...

(d) the persons on the flight, including the operating crew, share
equally in the costs of the flight; and
- Nope, I am not giving anyone my hard earned to chuck someone off a plane unless I (a) don't like them to begin with (b) get to push them myself (c) they don't have rig or TM on their back!

(e) no payment is required for a person on the flight other than a
payment under paragraph (d). - I believe the TM's also get some sort of remuneration too!

Nope, an operation that would be the envy of any regional airline.

Those are not the requirements for a private operation.

Those are the requirements for a cost sharing flight to be deemed pvt.

No pilot will go coz they can't log anything and you won't get an extra passenger coz it's too expensive. So you're gona have to charge everybody more and they're gona start winging coz they can't take any baggage.
You're little shonky twin hour building op will end up dying in the arse the week before Birdsville.

I'd be more inclined to take a Baron

It'll probably climb on one, it's more cost effective with the pax numbers you will more than likely get, has far more room in the nose and aft baggage zone for gear than the PA31 and lets face it, is far more fun to fly!

GG

I have made a PA31 with a full load climb on one out the back of nowhere! But, that aside,

far more fun to fly!
What about an aerostar!!! Much more fun, and makes your Baron look like the ugly stepsisters uglier stepsister!! Faster too!!!

That was Ranga circa 2006.

Why do I post here again?

*sigh*

If I was hour building, would I be flying there in a chieftain? I'm actually going there with some mates for a beer and the races. We go most years. Two blokes who regularly come with us have unexpected work commitments arising from yesterday's roster.

Uh-oh, who called the lawyers?

7(A) is to allow cost sharing, and doesn't apply in this instance.

I'm flying in accordance with 7(d)(viii). If I wanna take 10 pax, I'll take 10.

BTW, I'm not taking 10.

What about the " a few spare seats going for a grand " bit?
You'd be better off taking Apache's advice.
