The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a government agency that oversees aircraft operations. The body has since split the laws into various sections in order to completely enforce its process. As a result, the majority of the rules and regulations will be covered in this article. It will investigate the distinction between sections 121 and 135.

Section 121: CFR 14 (FAR) Part 121

The first section specifically defined by the FAA regulation is CFR 14 (FAR) Part 121. This form of air travel is concerned with scheduled air carriers. It mostly applies to airlines.

The applicability of this part is purely based on the nonpassenger seats in some of the passenger carrying operations. This could be either be determined by the operation or the aircraft type certificate. The parts also have a provision that is used in prohibiting the fraudulent or some of the intentional false statement concerning an airport operation certificates. Language is also another issue that is comprehensively covered in part 121. The amendment of language in this part has been used to solidify consistency and codify the existing industry practice.

The issue of environment is importantly covered in part 121. The part is known for the vivid prescription of the minimum standards that are set for the purposes of maintaining and also operating the physical airport environment. It also provides some of the regulations to specific airports on the type of aircraft to be served. In most cases, the description has been majorly passenger aircraft.

Section 135: DOT Part 135

The important part in the air transport is the part 135. This part has been established under the department of transport (DOT) it is majorly established as an on-demand air carrier's operators. This kind of carries is known for engaging mostly in air transport using "small aircraft" this particular craft have maximum passenger seat of up to 60 or less. The maximum payload capacity under these regulations usually 18,000 pounds or less.

The carrier under this part is allowed to operate indefinitely. This is, however, as long as it is complying with the regulations that are provided in the 14 CRR parts 135.

Registration and Operating Requirements

During the application to become an on-demand air carrier, the prospective air carrier operators are required by law to file two forms with the FAA. The first form which is significant during registration is the (OST Form 4507) the second form is known as the aircraft liability certificate. The later is usually completed by the carrier's insurance company.

The requirement is a part, have the force of law, and any form of violation can be subjected to the rule of law. The aircraft under 135 part are not allowed to operate until I the FSDO grant it an active air certificates. The FSDO body, on the other hand, will not do so until the carrier receives verification of an insurance and also a form of registration authorization that is usually obtained from the FAA headhunters (Oster, Clinton, John, Strong, and C. Kurt,2013)

Registration Process

In accessing the registration form, the following has to be taken care of. First, the carrier has to clearly indicate the full names of the company as recorded under the FAA Carrie rulers. The telephone and any contact numbers are also some of the requirement that must be adhered to before registration and eventfully operation of the aircraft under this part.
