Yea, I have done that and got a quote for $60 per hour, $85 per hour, $89, and $95, but I wanted to hear what others might have to say. I was unaware of that about the operating certificate. My examiner, which is two hangars from me, used to work for the FAA for many years, so I plan on asking...

I will only need a DOO, Chief Pilot, and DOM according to 119.69. You are refering to part 119.65 which requires DOS, DOO, Chief Pilot, DOM, and chief inspector. I will be operating a 135 operations not 121.

Okay. I know the mechanics I used for my Mooney charge anywhere from $60 to $90 and they always quote hours. I was going to be the certificate holder, but I also planned my budget around having a DOM and a COO for executive operations aside from operating the aircraft and pilots. Also, I am...

I'm not asking how to get an Aerostar on a 135 operation, I am asking how much A&Ps charge per hour, and no one seems to have an answer.

No I mean as a mechanic. How much do mechanics charge per hour. I already have the hourly cost of the airplane figured out.

I don't know because I don't know how to find the recommended maintenance program for the plane. It probably comes with the plane's books when and if I buy one. However, I have budgeted $176,000 to overhaul both engines. I did some research online and I doubled the quoted prices online, so this...

A 135 consultan could be costly, but I will consider it. I'm not relying on the internet, I have quite a few contacts who know this stuff, but I am trying to hear what other people say rathar than depend on a few people. And I have gone through most of the FAA's guidance and I have watched their...

Hello friends. I am currently writing a business plan for a part 135 operation. I am a pilot, so I know and understand the rules for pilots in part 91 and part 135, but I know about nothing about part 135 maintenance requirements. My operation would consist of planes with 9 seats or less and...

I'm considering that. My dad works for JetBlue and they pay a service like this to fly people from small towns around their hub airports to the hub, so they can have more customers and they can pay cheaply.

I am working on that. I have all the operating costs calculated out for selected airplanes, but I over estimated on the maintenance cost, so I posted a thread here for help being more precise. I with my over estimated cost per mile, my potential service could be anywhere from $30 - $300 CHEAPER...

And that is why I am researching the potential market.

Not yet no. I just have an idea and potential market my investors are interested in since I brought it up.

Haha I wrote this at midnight, so I was bound to make mistakes. Cessna 402, meant to say it is a twin piston.

Okay. Yea I noticed that the airline market has a giant gap for small towns or non-hub airports, and other than just being a way to fly privately like a rich guy, I wanted to make a way to fly a family of 3-5 cheaper or equivalent to airline places near them. Also more convient.

Yes I was going to buy at least 4 planes and pay for a 135 maintenance program and get an air carrier certificate to opperate. I am just trying to find out which planes are cheaper to opperate, but it is not easy to get a 135 maintenance quote.

From my understanding, yes, as long as one plane does not schedule a flight between the same two airports more than 5 times per week, and if a twin is scheduled it goes from 1200 hours to ATP required.

Haha. Yep, but would you let them if it let you save money?

Thank you! Could the operator charter the flight as on demand, but the person buying the charter to a specific location can choose to [buy all then sell rest] or [buy all, but have operator sell the rest].

I have a list of airplanes I am considering buying, but I do not know their Maintenance cost per hour. The Maintenance will fall under part 135, so I know it should be more than part 91. If you have the answers, and some free time, could you please tell me an estimated cost per hour for the...

Let me create a scenario: A plane is set to fly out of airport X. Bob charter this flight for Monday at 7:00 AM to any destination of his choosing. Bob is taking 1 friend. The plane has 6 seats. There is one pilot, so at the moment, 3 seats are filled. Can the administrator sell the 3...
