Re: FAA Part 135 Flight Info

["Larry Pluhar" <lpluhar@airangels.com>]

Depends on just how the FAA POI interoperates the reg. I have heard it many
ways, sometimes different ways from the same individual POI:
1. If you are charging "empty miles" to patient pickup point, you are in
revenue status.
2. If you charge a "launch fee", you are in revenue status.
3. If your Ops Manual says "treat all legs of all flights as Part 135" to
determine weather minima, etc., you are, obviously, in 135 status.
4. Depends upon who gets the bill at the end of the flight.

Bottom line, to stay "legal" with the FAA, ask them. If you do ask and get
some other explanation. please share.
