135 Question

[Excel'n]

Refer to FDC Notam 2/5128 IFR Operations - General (Part 2 of 6) and FDC Notam 2/5167 VFR Operations - General (Part 2 of 7) issued shortly after 9/11 and still in effect.

"PART 135 AIRCRAFT THAT DOES NOT HAVE A COMPANY CALL SIGN MUST FILE A "T" PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT TAIL NUMBER."

Just to follow up, I checked in a 1983 AIM and It says exacty the the same as the current AIM regarding hte use of "tango"

Air Taxi or other commercial operators not having FAA authorized call signs should prefix their normal identification with the phonetic word "Tango."
EXAMPLE -
Tango Aztec Two Four Six Four Alpha.

I believe Excel'n is correct, and that this is the reason that our 135 Ops manual still "requires" our operation to use TN on pax flights.

I file TN on every part 135 leg. The only helpful thing that I have ever noticed is that at airports that use LAHSO clearances frequently, I don't ever even get asked to accept one.
