Real ID Mandate Impacts Part 135 Charter Operations
As of May 7, Part 135 charter flights/nonscheduled commercial operations must comply with Real ID
Real ID

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday began enforcing Real ID compliance for all commercial air travelers, affecting some business aviation operators conducting Part 135 charter/nonscheduled commercial operations. This enforcement deadline marks the culmination of the Real ID Act, which established new standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards used for official federal purposes, including boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft.

According to a blog published by Universal Weather & Aviation, operators conducting Part 135 charter operations under TSA security programs such as the Twelve Five Standard Security Program (TFSSP) must verify that passengers present either Real ID-compliant identification or an acceptable alternative document when traveling domestically.
