135 reg question..................

Billing your internal trips through the 135 side meets the requirements of 119.63

I think the biggest issue with this type of operation is going back and forth between 91 and 135 with the aircraft. Once you fly a trip part 91 there is mx requirements to get the airplane back 135 current. Just like everything else part 135, it is a pain in the @ss.

The only difference in CFR 135 vs. 91 maintenace is that under CFR 135, you must comply with mandatory service bulletins. Under CFR 91, madatory SB's are not required, but they are a step away from becoming an AD. If an aircraft is properly maintained IAW the Ch 5 of the MM, then it would not have any problem going on a 135 certificate.

You can fly a 135 aircraft without 135 current crews on 91 trips. Example, the crew does not have a current .297. They are still legal to fly under 91. However, the aircraft must always be maintained to 135 standards.

If I go fly a 91 trip for my boss, there are no special mx requirements to bring the aircraft back into compliance with 135. So long as the jet is always maintained to 135 standards.

Bzzzzt:

Wrong.

What you meant to say timmay is that once an aircraft that has been on a 135 certificate is removed from that certificate and maintained under Part 91, the aircraft must undergo a 135 conformity inspection (among other things) to be placed back on an operating certificate.

You just left out a few details, but it's FI, so that's normal.
