Part 135 (Operating Requirements: Commuter and On Demand Operations)

Part 135 sets the rules for smaller commercial aircraft operations like commuter flights and on-demand charters. It ensures these flights meet safety standards, including proper pilot training, aircraft maintenance, and operational procedures. The goal is to protect passengers and crew by establishing consistent safety practices, even though these operations are generally smaller and more flexible than large airline services. Essentially, Part 135 helps ensure that smaller commercial flights are conducted safely, reliably, and in accordance with federal regulations.
