Integrating Advanced Air Mobility: Navigating Current FAA Part 135 Regulations
The integration of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) into the national airspace presents a significant regulatory challenge. This analysis explores how future air taxi operators could structure their services under the existing FAA Part 135 framework, which governs on-demand air carriers. Key differences between traditional aviation and AAM, especially concerning automation and single-pilot operations, pose hurdles for certification. Operators will likely need to pursue exemptions or participate in new rulemaking to align regulations with their innovative aircraft. The discussion also extends to necessary adaptations for maintenance and pilot training frameworks.
