Bring on Parts 135 , 121 etc and lose this stupid, stupid differentiation and double standard between charter and RPT for ever, pleeese!
Mach E,
Have you actually read and digested in detail Part 135, it sound to me like the answer is no.
The minimum aerodrome standards, alone, will bring a large % of light charter to a screaming halt. Quite a significant proportion of the aerodromes in ERSA do not meet the Part 135 minimum, probably 70% or more in the AOPA Guide would not meet the aerodrome requirement, including almost all strips on farms.
Having to have all maintenance done in a Part 145 workshop will be a huge financial impost, CAR 30 is bad enough for light aircraft, compared to US requirements.
The fuel requirements defy legal definition.
In it's present form (and I see little likelihood of change, unless we get a change of government before it is enacted) Part 135 will be a disaster for light aviation.
Tootle pip!!
