Part 135

Part 135 is a set of regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that governs the operation of smaller commercial aircraft, such as charter flights, commuter services, and on-demand air taxi services. It establishes safety standards, pilot qualifications, aircraft maintenance, and operational procedures to ensure passenger safety and reliability. Essentially, Part 135 helps regulate how these smaller aircraft companies operate, ensuring they meet specific safety and operational requirements similar to larger airlines, but tailored for smaller-scale and on-demand aviation services.
