I have been doing a bunch or reading for myself and was a little surprised what I found myself. Can anyone point me to any specfic regs that prevent me from handeling the controls during 135. What I have found so far leaves things a little unclear.


135.95:
No certificate holder may use the services of any person as an airman unless the person performing those services-
(a) Holds an appropriate and current airman certificate; and
(b) is qualified, under this chapter, for the operation for which the person is to be used


135.115
No pilot in command may allow any person to manipulate the flight controls of an aircraft during flight conducted under this part, nor may any person manipulate the controls during such flight unless that person is -
(a) A pilot employed by the certificate holder and qualified in the aircraft; or
(b) An authorized safety representative of the Administrator who has permission of the pilot in command, is qualified in the aircraft, and is checking flight operations


Isn't this difference a little unclear. I am on the payrole and have a multi-engine commercial rating with a high performance endorsement so I am qualified to fly the plane. Does this mean that I can handel the controls just not serve as eight a PIC or SIC since I have not had a checkride?
