Part 135 3rd Pilot Seating
I submitted a question on the "Charter" forum, but I think I should have maybe posted it here.
Where can I find any rules/guidance pertaining to the seating requirements when a 3rd pilot is required onboard due to flight time. I haven't had much luck looking through the FARs, maybe one of ya'll could point me in the right direction.
Thanks folks

...This is in response to your request for an interpretation regarding adequate sleeping facilities as prescribed by 14 C.F.R. §135.269(b)(5)...The FAA has consistently interpreted the phrase "adequate sleeping facilities on the aircraft" as generally meaning a bunk or berth, but not a reclining seat...Advisory Circular 121-31 (Sept. 30, 1994) contains the current guidance on this subject...

On the other hand, 135.269 allows a max of 12 hours aloft for a three-pilot crew, yet specifically requires adequate sleeping facilities for any crew of three or four pilots.
