Illegal Charters In FNQ?
Most GA operators have their AOC on prominent display in their office, for passengers to inspect.
if passengers don’t know what they are looking at, how is that the operators problem?
About 50% of agencies / brokers now request a copy of AOC, insurance, aircraft MR and pilot’s CPL when making a booking. Due diligence is being done.
however, what make me incandescent with rage is that certain individuals involved with flying Queensland’s boys (and girls) in blue (khaki?) and guests of Her Majesty (as it was then) requested pilots to fly after pilots declared themselves fatigued, tampered (reduced) pilots duty times to allow for more duty, and routinely overran flight and duty times by extending tasks and allowing insufficient rest breaks afterwards.....the list goes on.
Thank God AFAP got involved and the case has been settled.
But a very talented pilot is now driving sugarcane trucks somewhere in Qld, utterly disillusioned with the industry.
Something, something, about glass houses and stones...
