Author:regarding Part 135 flight planning?
1/13/2021 8:45:12 AM
|
In a recent memo, someone is claiming that there is confusion and misunderstanding between the "flight assignment" and the "duty assignment" are where most of the issues seem to stem from with management. He warns your pilot may be in jeopardy.
So here's the question:
Where does any regulation or FAA interpretation does it say this?
"ALL planning MUST be done so that you can complete the "flight assignment" within your 14-hour "Duty Period Assignment," as well as ALL known "directives" or "duties" assigned by the Certificate Holder."
Here is the misinformation being communicated:
Not "all" planning Just the portion that will be conducted under Part 135. For instance, if you conclude Part 135 flying and operational Part 91, you are no longer restricted to a 14 hour duty day. Tail-end Part 91 repositions are and have been authorized by the FAA for decades. Nothing in the regulations require a pilot to plan a round trip back to base Pare 135, or to include in that planning all administrative tasks after the flight landed. Nothing. A pilot can operate Part 91 after the Part 135 legs conclude, unless any medical crewmembers are still aboard, as the FARs considered them the same as paying passengers.

A Part 135 pilot must complete a Part 135 flight assignment within 14 hours of starting his duty, but under FAR 135.267(d), there is no such thing as a 14-hour Duty Assignment. Your duty assignment can be as long or as short as whatever. You can be on duty for 24 hours without violating FAR 135.267(d). You just can't plan a Part 135 Flight Assignment past 14 hours. You can plan to end a Part 135 flight assignment within 14-hours, and continue with non-Part 135 tasks thereafter for as long as needed or desired. You are still on duty, just not on required rest. Rest starts once you finish all work of the Certificate Holder and are prospectively assigned rest.
Nothing mandates a pilot be scheduled for rest after 14-hours. What is mandated is that he can't plan to operate an aircraft under Part 135 past 14-hours

You guys are engaging in circular arguments of the thinnest sort; not to say the FAA doesn't.
If you are concerned about the legality of any >14 undertaking just say you're too tired, put the helicopter to bed, and get a room. If your company wants to get nastty take it to the FAA.
Don't have the stones for it? You need a new line of work. Don't ever be hesitant to push any concern up the ladder, it's what the ladder is for. |

The all powerful "careless and reckless" can come to play so be mindful of what is prudent, and what is not prudent.
There are a few Catch 22s in the FARs.

The DUTY PERIOD is a clock that runs until you are put on rest, regardless of the type of work performed. Moping the floor for the Certificate Holder is duty, but the FARs don't say you must stop ar 14 hours. The just say that you can't plan to fly a Part 135 flight assignment unless you can look back from the planned completion of that flight assignment (not the mopping the floor afterwards) and saw 10 hour of regulatory rest.

had three ramp checks in over 50 years of flying. They were all courteous and nothing came of them but they all happened when I least suspected them so having one's ducks in line is definitely worth it. On one the fellow asked what my filed IFR alternate had been. His comment was, "that's reasonable" so don't think they can't figure things out. Just sayin'. |

are sporting enough to just do what you proffer then do it if your operator has no objection.
Know this please: If the FAA decide they don't like what you do/did they will get involved. Nothing like having a bunch of beurocrats digging in to things. That's when you'll wish there were more specific guidance on it and not just 'interpretations'.
My approach is to read the rules, don't read in to them. Whatever that means to you and your operator is what is going to spell your not getting in to a contest with the Feds. Remember, the Feds have big teeth, and they print all the money they want (on our backs). |

plan to end your duty day at or before the 14th hour of duty. 5h3ybsimply say you cannot plan to operate aircraft under Part 135 part the 14th hour of duty. You can PLAN anything after that, including a taxi ride back to base, a drive back, a walk back, an overnight somewhere, a deadhead flight back, or a Part 91 reposition back. To be Part 91, you cannot have your medical crewmembers aboard, as they successfully lobbied the FAA to have them be considered equal to paying passengers, not company non-revenue passengers.
There is no duty day limitations for Part 91 operation in the FARs. Youncan plan (flight assignment) point A to B to C and end the Part 135 assignment at C, then take a Part 91 flight assignment back to point A, just like any other Part 91 operator! |

getting the idea you may be offerring the idea that person who goes over 14 under Part 91 can work another 2-3, maybe 5 hours.
Let's say that individual got up two hours before reporting for duty, did his 14, then some Part 91, on behalf of his employer, or possibly at the direction or insistence of his or her employer, and, voila, there comes some incident or hopefully not an accident. Don't think the FAA will not look at fatigue and possibly operating in a careless or reckless manner as a result, and they CAN make it stick.
Just because under this rule and that one we think some things are just fine that may not be the case. Ya have to look at all regs with due respect of what is undertaken.
Whew. Apologies, way too long. |

it doesn't say one can mix 135 with 91 on the end.
Pushing this subject is always tough because 14+ hours of wakefulness has been proven as something that starts to border on fatigue. Don't think the Feds won't bring it up, and consider it, and if they are convinced it played a part, you'll wind up dealing with it especially if there is an incident or accident. |

Favorite line from a ramp check as I quoted him the regs. He says no thats not what it says, so I whip out the book and read it to him. He again denies it and takes the book from me and reads the reg. Now for the beauitiful part, he hands me back the book and says "that may be what it says but that is not what it means and you should know better". Seriously, how do you deal with someone like that?
Bottom line, sell hamburgers at a fast food joint, the managers are smarter than the feds. Its cheaper and less risky and the worse they can do is fire you. |

In looking at this thread it seems someone may be confusing flight assignment and duty assignment with with the flight and duty assignments required under operational control. The pilot has oerational control when it comes to flight assignment. In other words, the planning for a specific flight is the responsibility of the pilot. Duty assignment is a major responsibility of the operator insuring the crew assigned is current, legal, properly trained, and properly equipped to complete required duties.
I may be reading into what is being said in this post. |

wants to get in to a phissing contest with a Fed but you can request clarification and I suggest you don't do it at any level lower than FAA Legal in DC.
No one likes having things ratcheted up but DC are the only ones who can say "what it means", period. POIs are not allowed to interpret.
It also indicates your willingness to sort things out.
We have to live with them, they have to live with us. Use the system, if others don't like it, tough, that's the way things work. |

if i were a chief pilot interviewing people, i'd ask them to explain this. if they couldn't, out the door they'd go. most simple thing in the universe. but people pretend not to understand it for different reasons, some because of laziness, some because of gung-ho-iness. those that really don't understand it are too stupid to be out flying hot metal and flammable liquids over the heads of their fellow citizens. |
