WTB: 135 Ticket

Your seemingly cavalier attitude
will likely have the Fed watching you even more closely, as it ought.
You're talking about an airline, not a lemonade stand.

You know, I come on these boards looking for advice and I get more posts
on my attitude and how flippant I am being than actual advice

Yep. For every useful response there are a bunch of pompous asses that
want to pass judgement or scold you in front of their usenet pals.

Comes with the turf. Hopefully you'll get your answer. I shot a note to a
local 135 operator / friend to see if he had any resources, but he appears
to be on vacation.

You're welcome.

The owner of our flight school used to be a part of a 135 and used a
Seneca as the airplane. Funny, that is exactly what we ware doing. The
question now is how much do we offer him to help us with the pre-135
paperwork to the actual certification? Any suggestion on a price?

Thanks again.

In addition to what others said, I believe the 135 operation is
certified by the FSDO region they are in. If you buy the 135 operation
and move it you may need to reapply for the certificate. BTW: Our
Sacramento FSDO guy said it shouldn't be too hard to get a 135
certificate. Of course insurance is tough.

Getting a 135 isn't too hard, that is right, but it takes a while to get
it. We kinda want to get this started by fall, so we'll see. I am not
even at the 135 minimums yet, but I will be easily by fall. I have been
flying the dead legs with a local 135 operator, so my twin time is
building up quickly. To be honest, I am very wet behind the ears for
time.

A fellow around here charges $1500 to supply all the manuals. He has them on
computer and makes changes as neccessary. The local FSDO is content with his
manuals and even recommends him to prospective operators.

Whatever training you have now and before the 135 op won't satisfy the
FAA. They will want more training of a specific type. Also, your
biggest problem is going to be finding an IA that will do 135
maintenance. The FAA's main concern is going to be your aircraft
maintenance. It is easier if you buy a new plane or a used plane
already under 135 maintenance, but ask around of the local IA's. That
is your biggest bottleneck, aircraft maintenance.

I may ask for his services, but not yet.

Thanks

$1500 is the least you are going to pay for anything in this endeavor. I'm
surprised the guy doesn't charge 10 times that amount.

Not neccessarily- For a single-pilot operation, there is NO training
program.

maintenance.

There are always IAs looking to make money. That isn't a problem. The IA
usually only does the paperwok anyway. A&Ps do the grunt work. Finding A&Ps
on a Sunday afternoon for unscheduled maintenance is the problem.
