Wondering, can an N-registered 139 operate SPVFR/SPIFR under Part135 operations? Or under Part 91 ?
Assuming FMS Supp 22 is in play...

Thanks
Last time I checked, the AW139 is not SPIFR certified by FAA. Only EASA and nations that follow EASA.

Section 1, Limitations. Minimum crew for IFR in FAA land is two.

Section 5, Supplement 22, IFR Single Pilot Operations. In nice big letters. NOT FAA APPROVED.

Single Pilot VFR in FAA land, yes. But only if Supplement 32 is followed.
