Part 135 regulations

Part 135 regulations govern the operation of commuter and on-demand air services in the U.S., focusing on safety, operational standards, and crew requirements. They ensure that small commercial aircraft, like private charters and air taxis, are operated with proper maintenance, trained personnel, and safety procedures, similar to larger airlines but tailored for smaller operators. The rules cover various aspects such as pilot qualification, aircraft standards, record-keeping, and operational limitations, aiming to promote safety and reliability in non-airline passenger and cargo flights.
