Operating NOT under Part 135 ?

[PeteCO]

QUOTE=PeteCO So if you are a single plane, single pilot operation, does that mean you are operating under Part 91? ------- No. /If not, then what types of ops can operate under part 91? ------119.1(e)./ What about VFR air taxi ---- No /or flightseeing ----- 119.1(e) /or something?----?????

My understanding is that freight can operate under P91 ------- No /but since air taxi and flightseeing is "common carriage" then they must be 135, yes? ------- Yes / No to sightseeing within 25 nm with the caveat that you must establish a Drug Program per Part 121 App. I & J

Part 91 freight sounds like it would be much easier if someone could make a living doing just that.

From reading Part 91 and 119.1, it looks like freight must be run under Part 135, is that correct? In other words, there is no such ting as Part 91 freight.

Also, I see no FAA definition for "common carrier". Does that refer to passengers only or any activity for hire, including cargo, other than activities mentioned in 119.1?

The FAA treats cargo just as valuable as passengers.

As for the def of "common carrier", there is no direct def published by the FAA. Instead, look up the def of "non-common carriage" for some insight. It can be found under 119.1.
