1.	The start of the FAA Part 135 application process Anyone who wants to purchase or apply for a Part 135 certificate should spend a good deal of time going through the various forms and learning what’s involved in order to get approved for a Part 135. To help operators understand what information is needed, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has published the "Certification Information for Operating Under Part 135."
The FAA has published an Advisory Circular entitled "Certification of Air Carriers," which outlines the five phases to consider for the Part 135 application process: (1) Pre-Application
Application/Law Firm: If you hire an experienced aviation law firm, expect to spend 35,000-90,000 USD, depending on what type of certificate you set up, how many aircraft you will have on the certificate, whether the aircraft is used for passenger or cargo transport, and to which geographical areas your certificate is allowed/approved to operate. Proving Runs (proving and validation tests): To calculate you utilize the cost per flight hour (varies) multiplied by 25 hours, plus a check ride. The cost for this step is +/- 45,000 USD. Conformity: Between 5,000 and 10,000 USD depending on aircraft.
Keep in mind that each job position depends on criteria such as: what the job title/description involves, responsibilities, education, type ratings, and background experience of each aircraft personnel.

How many employees? Can some employees consistently and proficiently perform multiple job tasks/titles and, if so, which ones so that I can be as efficient as possible? How much per flight hour do I need to charge to break even on yearly expenses and how much in order to be in the black?
How many flight hours will we be flying this year to break even and how many in order to get into the black? How many pilots and airframe and/or powerplant mechanics do I need full-time?
How many contract pilots will I need to hire part-time? 6.	FAA answers to many commonly asked Part 121, 135, and 145 questions
4.	What is the process of setting up a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-mandated drug and alcohol testing program? According to the FAA’s drug and alcohol testing regulation (14 CFR part 120), an employer (i.e., a Part 119 certificate holder with authority to operate under Parts 121 and/or 135, an operator as …
