Pilots and Aircraft That Are Part 135 Certified

All top air charter companies use pilots and aircraft that are certified per Part 135 of Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR’s). Why is this beneficial to you, the charter jet traveler? Part 135 specifies that while every charter plane needs to be deemed airworthy, aircraft safety is strongly enhanced by meeting the strict requirements specified in Part 135 for airplanes that fly “for compensation or hire.” Higher standards of skill and experience also apply to pilots and crews, further enhancing your airplane safety. Charter jet professional pilots have completed extra training and have accumulated additional experience and expertise of the highest level. All have initially achieved Part 91 certification (for private pilots) and have since progressed through Part 135 certification – establishing their qualifications as experts. Should you consider using a charter jet offered by a company that cannot guarantee that their aircraft and crew is Part 135 certified, you should proceed carefully. At least, ask why this condition exists since all aircraft and crews are required to be Part 135 certified if they carry passengers for “compensation.” Using the top air charter firms should eliminate any concerns you have as they not only understand the plane safety regulations, they have reached the pinnacle of success by giving their clients only the best charter jet aircraft and pilots available today.
