14 CFR Part 135

14 CFR Part 135 is a set of federal regulations that govern the operation of small commercial aircraft and commuter flights in the United States. It ensures safety, proper pilot training, maintenance standards, and operational procedures for charter flights, air taxis, and other on-demand flying services. These rules help maintain consistent safety standards, licensing requirements, and oversight for operators, pilots, and aircraft involved in non-scheduled commercial air transportation. Essentially, Part 135 outlines the legal framework to ensure these flights are conducted safely and responsibly, protecting passengers and the public.
