Part 125

LARGE AIRCRAFT – PVT & NON-COMMON CARRIAGE


A large airplane with 20 or more seats or 6000 pounds or more of payload being used in private or non-common operations must be operated under Part 125, unless a deviation is obtained from the FAA to operate the airplane solely under Part 91 General Operating Flight Rules.

The Part 125 certificate is becoming more and more popular with the advent of large, personal-use aircraft.

Part 125 allows what we call contractually shared use. The aircraft owner may contract with other companies to provide transportation for their own use, however strict controls limit the commercial use of the airplane.
                                            
                                            A Part 125 operator may not “hold out to” the public. He can’t advertise or send sales people to
                                            a prospective customer, and must have an FAA approved contract with the sharing company.                                             Normal commercial rates may be charged for the sharer’s use of the airplane.
