Part 135 ops

[helonorth]

Can anyone tell me what`s involved in getting a 135 certificate for VFR operations? I`m thinking of

starting a operation including flight training and air taxi. Any info would be appreciated.

Another useful place to look is FAR Part 135. It's all there.

Regarding the replies- what I was actually looking for is some practical information from someone who

has experience dealing with the FAA in this area. A copy of the regs ,I have.

Hey Hn, it might be a case by case issue, so it may be better to contact the local FSDO for help in the answers you need.

 

hope this helps

Best to contact your local FISDO, they will have a packet with all the info as to what you need to do and in what order. You will be meeting with them a lot over the next year getting the 135 set up so you may as well get used to it. They will probably tell you to contact your insurance company first for a quote, as this usually puts a rapid halt to the entire process. Rule of thumb, take your current rate and times it by 6.

 

good luck

Practical experience - the FAA will make sure that you follow every bit of the regs - your initial application(s) will be an exercise in patience as you dot those missed "I"s. Your best bet is to find someone who has already done a similar 135 app in your area, as they will have done a lot of the hard work. In our case, we adapted an airplane Op Spec and Ops Manual, but it still takes ages. The FARs are indeed your best friend. (And as the Man of Steel pointed out, insurance is very expensive.)
