5.2 Aerial and Ground Operation
5.2.1: Aerial Operation
Aerial Operation (flying) of Apollo WSC aircrafts is considered to be legal by Apollo
only if the pilot disposes of a valid WSC licence with the relevant type rating.
5.2.2 Ground Operation (GO)
Concerning ground operation Apollo defines here two types of activity:
Heavy Ground Operation (H)—any maintenance, inspection, repair, or alteration,
which Apollo designated to be „heavy” ones, and require
- specific training and licensing (e.g. flight mechanic), or
- professional equipment (e.g. sail stitching tools) or
- special facilities (e.g.: workshop)
The pilot cannot make these activities independently. To find the proper way to carry
out the tasks excluded from the pilot’s activity appropriate licensed and type-rated
assistance is to be used.
Light Ground Operation (L)—any repair, maintenance, scheduled checks, servicing,
inspections, or alterations, which are not designated to be heavy ones by Apollo.
As the items of a Pre-flight Check are not qualified as „Heavy” ones, the pilot may do
them. This right of him terminates if during the Pre-flight Check a component is
discovered which requires special means.
5.3 Assistance for Ground Operation
To handle questions emerging while planning aircraft maintenance, inspection,
repair, or alteration Apollo stays at the disposal of the costumer by keeping contact
with him either directly, or by a Contact Person.
Contact Person for a costumer from a foreign country operating his/her aircraft
privately is the Dealer. The Dealer is the sole and exclusive representative of Apollo
Ltd in this country. The basic purpose of the assistance provided by the Dealer is the
fulfillment of the prescriptions of the Apollo while the regulations of WSC aircraft
operation valid in the county are also complied with, if possible simultaneously.
Description of this assistance is detailed in the Certificate of Appointment prepared
by Apollo for the dealer.
Contact Point for a costumer operating his/her aircraft under the supervision of an
Operating Organization is the Type Manager appointed by the relevant technical
leader of the Organization (mostly the Chief Engineer). Detailed description of this
assistance is an agreement between Apollo and the Operating Organization only if
such a document is required by any of the parties.
