Perhaps as an example of the NTSB moving forward on long-outstanding issues, it has asked the FAA to require nonscheduled Part 135 operators to report activity data annually, including flight hours, revenue miles, aircraft types and missions.

In its Air Taxi Safety Study, the Board recommended that the FAA redraft Part 135 to recognize that commuter airline operations and air-taxi charters are separate entities.
