135 Written Exam

[airmedplt]

I know a written 135 exam is good for two yrs. Is there an exemption to the expiration of this exam if you are either employed by a 135 or 121 operator. If so can you show the reference for this.

Thanks,

Glenn

I refer you to 61.39b(1) which says:

(1) Is employed as a flight crewmember by a certificate holder under part 121, 125, or 135 of this chapter at the time of the practical test and has satisfactorily accomplished that operator's approved—

(i) Pilot in command aircraft qualification training program that is appropriate to the certificate and rating sought; and

(ii) Qualification training requirements appropriate to the certificate and rating sought; or

oh yes there is. you can either op to take the 135 or 121 version for the atp written. this option became available about 4 yrs ago. it all boils down to a atp rating after the checkride though. nothing to distinguish between 135 or 121 on the practical or on your ticket.
