Don't put your aircraft on Charter!

Did you ever think about doing the certificate for the owner. Around here managment companies get $5,000 a month for an 800XP. If you managed the gig you could turn away all the annoying road shows and Peoria overnights for the good work. Also, all you need are the beginings of a certificate to not pay sales/use tax on the plane.

This arrangement could work out very well. You (or the owner) choose the trips and the operator or management company oversees the operation. Be careful about the sales tax issue. Most states require that you just be on a 135 cert, but some require 50% charter.

Actually, you can get away without paying the sales tax if more than 50% of your trips are out-of-state. Just be very meticulous and account for every hour when you submit your tax exemption paperwork.

Depending on where you are, getting your own certificate can take a year or more. The world of 135 for jets especially has really changed over the last three years.
