I'm completely confused by the current situation regarding what is and isn't a 'Commercial' operation on an EASA type.
My ELA1 aircraft aircraft has an engine with 1000 hours since zero-timing (2000 hr TBO), but it is 13 years since that took place. It is on an SDMP, as has been required for the best part of a year. I understand that initially only ELA1 non-training operations were required to move to the SDMP, but that is now or soon will be the case for any ELA1 and ELA2 including those used for training.
1) Can it be hired out for self fly private use?
2) Can it be hired for training within an ATO (not ab-initio, but IR(R) training, say)?
Please no discussions on wisdom or otherwise of renting out aircraft, I'm just trying to establish the facts in this ever-changing world.
