No FTL regulation for NCC • Refers to applicable national rules until EU rules are adopted and apply
Free to switch between commercial and non-commerciel ops • Now clearly stated that an AOC holder may operate non-commercially provided he has described the standards for non-commercial operations in his OPS manual • It means for instance that an aircraft owner can now get his aircraft under an AOC (to generate revenue) and yet continue to fly it himself non-commercially with a PPL • This was previously a grey area and not allowed in many countries.
