TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require nonscheduled Part 135 operators to report activity data on an annual basis to include total hours flown, revenue flight hours, revenue miles flown, and number of departures by category/class of aircraft; to identify for each aircraft the proportion of flight time operations that are involved in sightseeing, air medical transport, passenger transportation, and cargo-only transportation; to report for cargo operations freight ton-miles available and freight ton-miles flown; and to report for passenger service operations seat-miles available and passenger miles flown.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to mandate that nonscheduled Part 135 operators submit annual activity data, including hours flown, revenue flight hours, revenue miles, and departures broken down by aircraft category. Operators must also report the proportion of flight time for sightseeing, air medical transport, passenger, and cargo operations, along with cargo freight ton-miles and, for passenger services, seat-miles and passenger miles flown.
