FAA Draft AC Addresses Part 135 Aircraft Inspections
The new document details what operators must validate in an inspection for the aircraft to be added to their AOC.

Air-taxi operators seeking to add an aircraft to their Part 135 certificate are required to ensure that the aircraft is configured appropriately and is in airworthy condition. The inspection to validate the aircraft for air-taxi operations must be conducted by the operator, and the FAA has published the draft of new advisory circular AC 135-CODO to help.
