"Bravo8500" wrote in message oups.com... Anybody know what the limitations are on flying IFR with passengers in a single-engine under a single-pilot, single-aircraft part 135 cert? Thanks for any info, I can't glean it from reading part 135. Sure. Contrary to some others' statements, it is possible and there are people in this area who do it. The aircraft must have backup vacuum and electrical systems. For single-pilot operations the aircraft must have a fully operational autopilot with altitude control. The new Cessnas meet all the requirements except for the backup electrical system (the autopilot is an option). The newest Nav III packages have a battery backup, but it does not last long enough to meet FAA single engine IFR requirements. If you have an older plane it will need a backup vacuum system as well. PAVCO offers an STC for a full battery backup, which also works well for float operations. We can do all the necessary mods on your aircraft and provide training. Contact Mike Pickett or Dave Stahl at http://www.flypavco.com/. Dave invented this particular battery STC, so he should be able to answer any questions you have about it. |
