requirements in part 135 are addressed
specifically to helicopter air
ambulances, often referred to as

violators of the regulations.

the terms, conditions, and limitations as
are necessary to ensure safety in air
transportation. Title 14 CFR parts 91
and 135 prescribes the requirements
governing helicopter air ambulance,
commercial helicopter, and part 91
helicopter operations. The information
collected is used to determine air
operators’ compliance with the
minimum safety standards and the
applicants’ eligibility for air operations
certification. Each operator which seeks
to obtain, or is in possession of an
operating certificate, must comply with
the requirements of part 91 or 135, as
applicable, which include maintaining
data which is used to determine if the
air carrier is operating in accordance
