Any time a plane takes off anywhere in the U.S., it’s subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration.
And those rules can be pretty complex and diverse.
Just ask any local pilot who has flown out of a small regional airport, or better yet, a seasoned professional operating commercial flights between the big cities.
The FAA is, by all accounts, a pretty bureaucratic agency with a lot of red tape to keep track of for aircraft operations of any kind. In some places, it’s sort of feared by small independent pilots. But with the right help, FAA rules can be workable for an aircraft operator.
FAA Examples
For example, read the code section on “domestic flag and supplemental operations” with categories of aircraft including non-transport category and commuter planes.
From the FAA itself:
“The FAA Office of Hazardous Materials Safety Program (HMSP) works in conjunction with the Office of Aviation Safety (AVS) and Flight Standards Service (AFS) in certification and oversight of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part certificate holders and operators.”
Here and elsewhere, you’ll see some of the verbose language around types of aircraft as well as installation guidance, transport requirements and more.
Some of these things, like the bird proof windshield, make a lot of sense. Others are more confusing for people to wrap their heads around when they’re trying to comply with FAA requirements.

You can schedule a consultation with Bravo Zulu to talk about dispatch, aircraft management and contract piloting. We don’t just cover one aspect of aircraft operations design and planning – we cover it all. We are your advocate in the world of the FAA and US aircraft rules! What do we mean by “unprecedented aircraft management”? In one sense, “unprecedented” means you may not have been anticipating the challenges of operations. But in our sense, it means that you’ll get advice that will take you confidently down the road.
