So, what is the maximum size of a plane which can be flown by PPL in and out of USA?

In USA, Gulfstreams are under Part 91. Sounds like it should be perfectly legal to fly a Gulfstream as PPL - with endorsement like turbine plane, multicrew, pilot in command, type rating... what is the true list? And since CPL is required to fly for hire, presumably a non-owner PPL could only fly a Gulfstream as an unpaid friend of owner, not as employee...

USA also has Part 125. All planes with over 2700 kg payload capacities require a crew of both CPL-s. And planes with required FE also tend to have such size.

But ICAO knows nothing of Part 125. Any plane flown noncommercially, regardless of size, can be flown by PPLs.

Does Bahama recognize Part 125?
