135 Cargo only is OK for SE piston under IFR...
Wrong.Originally Posted by PerfInit
Quick answer, I''m fairly certain that 14 CFR Part 135 (carrying revenue passengers) prohibits Single Engine IFR with non-turbine powered aircraft. I don't have the exact rule handy, but Part 135 speaks to a requirement for an approved engine monitoring program. Oil analysis and compression checks don't suffice... 135 requires a higher level of safety when carrying passengers under IFR. 135 Cargo only is OK for SE piston under IFR...
Single engine piston aircraft are allowed to carry pasengers under IFR. There are certain requirements they must meet, so not all single engine recips are eligible, however they most certainly are allowed.
My previous company operated a fleet of Cirrus SR-22s exclusively for 135 pax charter.
