Default Aspen ODP question

No FAA lawyer edited AC 120-91.

The FAA will allow pilots to kill themselves in Part 91
operations, they tighten up under 121,135 commercial ops.


No, pilots usually kill themselves under Part 91.

Me, I want to have lots of room under the belly. The 300
King Air climbs well on one engine, particularly when the
weight is less than 14,000 lbs. TOW.

The 300 is certified under Part 25 isn't it?

But a 90 series King Air or even a 200, is under powered at
high and hot airports.


Part 23 airplanes, all bets are off.

It is my policy to be able to se and avoid, or fly IFR with
margins even beyond the word in the law.


Good for you. But, most of the real guidance is not a matter of law.
