Thanks for all your input guys I am trying to send PM's back to everyone as soon as i find out how to on this forum. I have a DO, CP, and DM but mey need pilots later not sure how busy it's going to be put I really value all your input.

 

I think there is a 10 or 12 post minimum before you can PM

 

Oh ok thanks for that info.

 

I have an operations manual I could e-mail to you. I imagine you are going to be passenger and possibly internationally?

The OpSpecs are FAA provided, you just need to find what you want to do. I can help you with that too. I would strongly suggest to go I-OPPS training with the FAA. opspecs.com is a great website to start working on your MEL and set up your I-OPPS training.

Flight Standards Information System (FSIMS) is a very good guidance on the FAA wants from you. Proving runs, conformity checks and many other subjects are in there. It is not going to be a fast thing, it took my company almost 14 months to have it completely going, we had to add TurboProp and TurboJet so we had to do many things all over again for the different airplane. We also ended up moving from one FSDO to another. We even had a certificate, but they made us pretty much start from the ground up. I did learn a lot that way and am happy I got to do it.

For the training Manual, you can use FSI or CAE Simuflite and change it as you go. You will probably have to go through them, or similair company, for initial training anyhow. They will not assign a full checkairman immediately, you might be able to get Line Check airman status during proving runs if the have the right (Chief) pilot for that. That's what they did with me. Be helpfull and polite, and make sure that they understand they are welcome there whenever. Shows them you have nothing to hide.

First couple of months there is going to be a lot of writing, research, training and many more things. You probably be wondering why you even considered doing this, but when it all gets going and you do good it will be a great feeling. Believe me

 

Thank you so much for the help my email is [email protected] I have been finishing an MEL from the MMEL it is alot of typing but it helps brings thinks to light if anyone has a GOM, or Training manual for me to peek at that would help alot. Thank you all once again for the help.

 

You may have to do more typing on your MEL. You may of copied down an MEL off the WEB and those are Part 91 MELs. The FAA is looking for how a Part 135 operator will comply with regulations with an inoperable component. An example would be, if the transponder was inop you just can’t say, Comply with FARs. The FAA wants it spelled out, altitude restrictions, dealing with TCA’s, VFR, IFR, etc. The FAA may also want, a “management” system. If something is inop there are time limits to get it fixed. One needs a system so things don’t fall through the crack.

 

your right i have been just getting the basics done hopefully i can get a copy of one to help.

 

I guess i need a PC computer the FAA website does not work with macs

 

My OS X using Firefox works on the FAA website.

 

the FSIMS and OPSPECS websites don't come up
