Research Notes
Section 91.1007 — Flights conducted under part 121 or part 135 of this chapter — addresses operations of fractional aircraft under Part 121/135 by the program manager.
Dual operational use: A program manager may use a fractional aircraft (during periods not allocated to owners) for Part 135 charter or Part 121 operations IF authorized under those parts. The aircraft must meet the applicable operating rules for the type of operation.
Cleanup of operational rules: When the aircraft is on a Part 135 flight, Part 135 rules apply. When on a Subpart K flight, Subpart K rules apply. The program manager must clearly identify which rule set governs each flight.
