Is it legal to fly a pt. 135 operated turboprop with expired:

• Low/High enroute charts
• Expred NOS charts

Not sure if the latest Jeppesen app. plate update is out yet, but I assume that might be late as well?

Our CP thinks it is, but I can't find anything in the regs under 135 about it.

I think I may have found my answer... FAR135.83 is pretty cut and dry. Not sure how pt.91 is different but I think the CP either doesn't know or fibbed to get the flights done....
