Aerial work category
Can anyone help out there. I have trawled through the CAA website and the ANO trying to find out if it is possible for Public Transport Category aircraft. (ie Flying School aircraft), to also hold an Aerial Work category in order to better utilise them and double up with aerial photography. Public Transport category has a higher state of maintenance control than private / aerial category, so i dont see it as a problem.

What you missed was Schedule 3 Part B as applied to Article 9 of the ANO.
Passenger transport category aircraft can be used for any purpose (i.e. including Aerial work)
Of course, an AOC may also be required, and things are slightly different under EASA CofAs which don't have categories.

Don't know whether this deserves a separate thread of its own, but on the subject of EASA CoAs- what are the categories?
We operate our aircraft doing aerial work on an old CAA "Transport Category" CoA. I'd like to know what category of CoA would be best for us when it comes up for renewal.
