12 Private operations
12.1 Subject to paragraph 12.3, this Order does not apply to an AOC holder when conducting private operations.
12.2Subject to the condition stated in paragraph 16.1, and paragraph 12.3, this Order does not apply to an FCM when conducting private operations.
Note The condition under paragraph 16.1 applies to FCMs whether or not they are employed by an AOC holder. Paragraph 16.1, therefore, applies to FCMs engaged in private operations as well as FCMs engaged in operations under an AOC. Guidance on the assessment of individual cognitive and physical fitness is contained in CAAP 48-1. CASA recommends that FCMs engaged in private operations consider this guidance in determining self-prescribed limits.
12.3Despite paragraphs 12.1 and 12.2, if an FCM performs duty by conducting a private operation (a private flight) during an FDP that involves a flight that is not a private operation (a commercial flight), the rules in paragraph 12.4 apply in relation to the FCM.
12.4For paragraph 12.3:
(a) if the private flight is conducted before any commercial flight is conducted — the private flight time must be taken to be part of the FCM’s FDP and must not be taken to be part of the FCM’s off-duty period; and
(b) if the private flight is conducted between commercial flights — the private flight time must be taken to be part of the FCM’s FDP and must not be taken to be part of the FCM’s off-duty period; and
(c) if:
(i) only 1 commercial flight is conducted during the FDP; and
(ii) the private flight is conducted after the commercial flight;
the private flight time must be taken to be part of the FCM’s duty period and must not be taken to be part of the FCM’s off-duty period; and
(d) if:
(i) more than 1 commercial flight is conducted during the FDP; and
(ii) the private flight is conducted after the last commercial flight;
the private flight time must be taken to be part of the FCM’s duty period and must not be taken to be part of the FCM’s off-duty period.
