Most of Part 135 is ok but the following is "new" and "interesting":

# the requirement for all aircraft that operate under the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) when carrying 6 or more passengers to be equipped with a Terrain Awareness Warning System class B (TAWS B);

# pilot experience requirements replaced by requirements for the operator to train its pilots for their unique operation and certify them as competent before undertaking unsupervised flights - this will apply to inexperienced pilots as well as those new to an operator (essentially moving away from flight hours as the qualifier and applying a competency based process) ;

# all flight crew members to be subject to recurrent training and checking requirements, scaled to the nature and complexity of the operation;
...
The future requirements for joyflight operations just seems confusing and contradictory
