4

Answer 1

•Mandates 2 crew with 10 or more passenger seats, less than 10 you can fly 135 with 1 pilot if:

– Autopilot (op specs authorizes it)
– PIC must have 100 hrs in make/model
– Certificate holder applies for amendment to us autopilot and demonstrates safety
– Aircraft is not operated CAT II

Question 2

135.107

Answer 2

Flight Attendants

– More than 19 seats

Question 3

135.89 Equipment Requirements

Answer 3

135.159
Equipment requirements:
Carrying passengers under VFR at night or under VFR over-the-top conditions

No person may operate an aircraft carrying passengers under VFR at night or under VFR over-the-top, unless it is equipped with:

• An anti-collision light system;
• Instrument lights to make all instruments, switches, and gauges easily readable, the direct rays of which are shielded from the pilots’ eyes; and
• A flashlight having at least two size “D” cell batteries.

Question 4

135.163 Equipment Requirements: Aircraft Carrying Passengers Under IFR

(8)

Answer 4

No person may operate an aircraft under IFR, carrying passengers, unless it has:

–A vertical speed indicator
–A free-air temperature indicator (OAT) (Free air slipstream)

–A heated pitot tube for each airspeed indicator;
–A power failure warning device or vacuum indicator to show the power available for gyroscopic instruments from each power source;
–An alternate source of static pressure for the altimeter and the airspeed and vertical speed indicators;

– For multi-engine aircraft, at least two generators or alternators each of which is on a separate engine, of which any combination of one-half of the total number are rated sufficiently to supply the electrical loads of all required instruments and equipment necessary for safe emergency operation of the aircraft

–Two independent sources of energy (with means of selecting either) of which at least one is an engine-driven pump or generator. Each energy source must be able to drive all required gyroscopic instruments powered by that particular source and installed, so that failure of one instrument or source, does not interfere with the energy supply to the remaining instruments or the other energy source.

–For multi-engine aircraft, each engine-driven source of energy must be on a different engine.

Question 5

135.203 VFR: Minimum Altitudes

Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, no person may operate under VFR:

During The Day
At Night in non Mountainous Terrain
At night in Mountainous Terrain

Answer 5

• During the day, below 500 feet above the surface or less than 500 feet horizontally from any obstacle; or
• At night in non-mountainous terrain, at an altitude less than 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 5 miles from the course intended to be flown; or
• At night in designated mountainous terrain, less than 2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal distance of 5 miles from the course intended to be flown

Question 6

135.205 VFR: Visibility Requirements

Answer 6

No person may operate an airplane under VFR in Class G airspace when the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet unless flight visibility is at least 2 miles.

Question 7

135.213 Weather Reports and Forecasts

Answer 7

Whenever a pilot is required to use a weather report or forecast, that person shall use that of the U.S. National Weather Service, a source approved by the U.S. National Weather Service, or a source approved by the FAA.

However, for operations under VFR, the pilot in command may, if such a report is not available, use weather information based on his/her own observations or on those of another person competent to supply appropriate observations
