Display of Air Operators Certificate
Hi All,
Just wondering if there is still a requirement to display your AOC. Can't find any mention of it in the regs
Cheers

I can't answer your question regarding regs but in todays aviation climate it is something you should be very proud of and it would not hurt to hang it on your office wall to show a bit of professionalism.
After all I am sure you are a professional........otherwise you would not be on Pprune......

We seem to assume that a GA operator can afford a wall big enough to hang 328 pages of A4 legalese bull**** to demonstrate his/her legal approval to conduct airpork operations in a C172
....and that any member of the general pubic actually could give a sh!t or bother to understand.

Funny? We're talking safety here. There's no room for 'funny'.
What? I used quotes!

Blast and damnation, Moriarty ... I missed them altogether ... my most obsequious apologies, good sir ... (exits, stage left, muttering incomprehensibly) ...
No need to apologise in any way, sir. My-mistake-to-JT-mistake ratio is around 100:1.
We just need to use our best efforts to ensure that the AOC and epaulette display rules are understood.

Horatio,
Wow, an image so horrible I think I need to stab my eyeballs out with a plastic spoon.
Under NO circumstances are you to offer yourself to bear another's child...
Dare I ask Leadie's guidance regarding legislation concerning the display of wings and other badges??
badges, badges, badges...

Interesting you ask that question.
The absence of outcomes-based rules on the display of wings and other insignia is, in my view, a substantial risk to the safety of air navigation. Hopefully this will be addressed in a MOS.

Had no idea bars had to be worn when doing commercial ops. Guessing that means i cant wear my polo when the weathers been to bad to wash my whites. At least theres no regs about having to wear a clean shirt
Still laughing at CAR 53 above, but looking at the OPs question literally has me curious. I was alway under the impression that it was regulated somewhere as it's the sort of thing CASA would regulate. But sitting in a hotel room I've been looking - more out of curiosity- but b#ggered if I can find it in a reg or MOS etc.

I looked at an old instrument and it only made reference to cao82. I would have thought if it was required to be displayed by law that governing law should also be included on the instrument of approval.
I told you so:

CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS 1988

There is, of course, a standard exemption to these requirements. I will see if I can track down a copy.
