§ 02 — The data
What a Part 135 listing is.
01 · 14 CFR Part 135
On-demand authority
Part 135 governs commuter and on-demand operations — the certificate a business needs to fly charter. The FAA publishes the aircraft each certificate holder is authorized to operate.
02 · Designators & CHDO
How the FAA identifies operators
Each certificate holder carries a four-character FAA designator and is overseen by a Certificate Holding District Office (CHDO). We key every profile to the designator, so name changes don’t break history.
03 · Read it honestly
Listing ≠ flights
A listing means the FAA currently authorizes the aircraft for Part 135 operation under that certificate. It does not prove charter flights, beneficial ownership, or operational activity.
Source: Federal Aviation Administration · processed . Authorization does not prove an aircraft has flown a charter service.
