Aerospace / Aviation / Space / Flight Duty Periods
Spanish term or phrase: actividad de trabajo aéreo
Flight Duty Period and Rest Period Regulations

"Actividad" often refers to "duty" in this text but in this case I'm wondering whether this is referring to activities that are carried out by aircraft such as parachute jumps and extinguishing fires (which are mentioned in the preceding text).

Any clarification would be much appreciated.

"Quedan excluidos de este ámbito de aplicación:
a) Los aviones que se utilicen en servicios militares, de aduana y de policía.
b) Los vuelos de lanzamiento de paracaidistas y los vuelos de extinción de incendios, así como los vuelos asociados de posicionamiento o regreso, en los que las personas que vayan a bordo son las que irían normalmente en un vuelo de lanzamiento de paracaidistas o de extinción de incendios.
c) Los vuelos que se desarrollen inmediatamente antes, durante o inmediatamente después de una actividad de trabajo aéreo, siempre que estos vuelos guarden relación con esa actividad y lleven a bordo, excluidos los miembros de la tripulación, un máximo de seis personas indispensables para el desarrollo de la actividad de trabajo aéreo."

I always sigh when I see references to EU legislation because it means I have to look them up which is more time-consuming than just translating them....

Explanation:
Hi Ruth,

This suggestion is a bit wordy, but I based it on a legislative document I found from Argentina (quoted below), which seems to define "trabajo aéreo" as just about any type of work involving a plane except for passenger or cargo transport. So, my answer is an attempt to summarize the following (mostly based on #9):

"Dec. 2836/71 - Trabajo aéreo

(Del 3/VIII/72; \"B. O\"., 13/VIII/71)
Cap. I - Concepto y dependencia

Art. 1.- El trabajo aéreo a los fines de la aplicación del presente decreto comprende la explotación comercial de aeronaves en cualquiera de sus formas, incluyendo el traslado de personas y/o cosas en función complementaria de aquellas, excluidos los servicios de transporte aéreo. En particular, se consideran actividades de trabajo, las siguientes 1.- Agroaereos: rociado, espolvoreó, siembra, aplicación de fertilizantes, combate de la erosión, defoliación, protección contra las heladas, persecución de animales dañinos.
2.- Fotografía: acrofotogrametria, prospección, magnetometria, detección, medición, sentillametria, filmación, relevamientos fototopográficos, oblicua.
3.- Propaganda: sonora, arrastre de cartel y/o manga, pintado de aeronaves, arrojo de volantes, luminosa, radial, con humo.
4.- Inspección y vigilancia: combate contra incendios de bosques y campos, control de líneas de comunicaciones, niveles de agua, sistemas de riego, embalses y vertientes, vigilancia de oleoductos, gasoductos, búsqueda y salvamento, control y fijación de límites.
5.- Defensa y protección de la fauna:
siembra en lagos y ríos, sanidad animal, arreo de ganado, control de alambrados, control de manadas.
6.- Pesca: localización de cardúmenes.
7.- Exploraciones petrolíferas, yacimientos minerales.
8.- Montaje y construcción de cimientos para Torres metálicas de perforación, levantamientos y trabajos de arqueología y geología, construcción de obras hidroeléctricas, puentes y oleoductos.
9.- Otras actividades que se realicen mediante el empleo de aeronaves, sin tener como fin transportar personas o cosas."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Bill. Just to double check, are the English versions from the EU Journal that appear on Eur-Lex always official translations, ie can they always be relied on 100%?

Asker: Thanks very much, Bill. That's useful to know.

Reference

Reference information:
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) defines general aviation (GA) as "an aircraft operation other than a commercial air transport operation or an aerial work operation." It defines commercial air transport (CAT) as "an aircraft operation involving the transport of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire", and aerial work as "an aircraft operation in which an aircraft is used for specialized services such as agriculture, construction, photography, surveying, observation and patrol, search and rescue, aerial advertisement, etc."[2]

Although this is a definition of General Aviation, it also includes the term "aerial work", which would appear to be what is used in your context.
