135 VFR Day Minimums
Hi all. So I recently acquired the hours to be eligible as PIC in VFR under 135 ops. I have roughly 600TT, so I'm guessing there's not a lot of places available to work for at the moment correct? If so, does anybody know of anyone hiring? Also, do I have to do anything special to make it official so that I can do the 135 VFR PIC, or is the simple fact of having those hours in my logbook good enough? When did most of you switch over to a new logbook? I know that I can squeeze about 100-200 hours on the pages I have remaining, but having that logbook out with me every day is a bigger chance of losing it. Thanks

I also use an electronic backup. Remember if you lose a logbook, your last 8710 is always proof of flight time. There is a file here on APC that you can download for free (vs. $80 for logbook pro) that is a pretty nice excel sheet.

What exactly would a 135 checkride consist of? Would it be more of a company thing due to the fact that the company is a 135 operator (just like a 141 standardization ride), or would it be the usual regulations, cross country plan, and flight type of checkride? Thanks again.

You'll get a lot of ground in the companies Ops Specs, basically the specific rules your company has been authorized by the FAA to follow. Each company is different in these regards, although there at obviously a lot of similarities in most. Then of course the standards you'd see on any check-ride with W&B's, performance charts, MEL's, Sectional/Low-enroute navigation, etc... Usually for us it was a 2-3hr ground, and 1.5-2hr flight.
I don't know under VFR if you have to do the 6-month ride, but IFR you do.

they're not updated. My inside source told me that they need at least one VFR captain because one just got fired....from what i heard, the guy took off with a damage airplane and didn't realize it until at the end of day. A fuel truck ran into it and made a dent somewhere. Gotta love Pac Wings.
