10 Limits and requirements for operations
10.1 Subject to subsections 11, 12 and 13, for an aircraft operation mentioned in column 1 of Table 10.1, an AOC holder must:
(a) choose at least 1 of the Appendices in column 2 of the Table that corresponds to the operation; and
(b) comply with the limits and requirements for FCMs mentioned in whichever 1 or more of the Appendices in column 2 of the Table the holder chooses that corresponds to the operation; and
(c) for each kind of operation conducted by the holder — specify in the operations manual the Appendix or Appendices with which the holder has chosen to comply.
Note 1 In this subsection, and generally throughout the CAO, a reference to an AOC holder is taken to include a reference to a Part 138 operator and a Part 141 operator: see paragraph 6.4, but also paragraph 4.2.
Note 2 This CAO, including the limits and requirements under subsection 10, does not apply to flight training in a flight simulation training device. However, if an AOC holder requires an FCM to carry out flight training in a flight simulation training device (FSTD) as well as flight duties, the training in the FSTD must be counted as duty by virtue of the definition of duty in subsection 6.
