Thought to action and ‘legal’.
"All members operate under one common set of seven manuals, with supplemental Base Operations Manuals for each member to account for the differences in school practices," Buckley points out. "APTA members also don't have to cease operations when key people–such as the CFI–leave, because they are still covered by the APTA Air Operators Certificate."
How long now have the BRB been saying ‘get smart’ use the rules and the system to gain ‘independent’ instructors in the rural areas?. APTA have shown one way and it’s a brilliant idea; bravo. But what of the ‘Aero clubs’ without and instructor ‘on tap’?
The notion of one outfit, like say AOPA holding a certificate and establishing remote bases for ‘their’ operations has real merit and is worthy of serious consideration. If CASA can’t or will not grant the easement needed; then working within the existing rule set to provide ‘instruction’ at bases where the revenue stream will not support a full time ‘school’ or instructor is ‘do-able’.
Anyway, great stuff from APTA, top marks for patience, diligence, intelligence , fortitude and industry assistance. Thank you.
Toot toot.
