Small package and courier question
In your opinion is it legal to be Part 91 and deliver legal small packages and other expedited cargo? For example if I were to use my own small airplane, let's say a Cirrus SR-20, to fly expedited cargo from airport A to airport B for a fee. No alcohol, tobacco, firearms, or hazmat items. Mostly things like documents, aircraft parts, other things that are relatively small or relatively light weight.

Your question is a direct reference to a 135 operation.
If you think the 135 is expensive, try doing it without the certificate.

Bird man, you're not the first and won't be the last person to think of putting their CPL ( or Private ) to use.
Trust me there'd be a bunch of other people already doing it if that were legal.
The answer is no.

There is a 135 option as the owner operator. A little research will turn it up. Best way would be to start with advisory circulars. Remember though that you would be required to do a 135 checkride with a representative from the friendly aviation administration.
