FAR part 125

前几天参加了波音计划在舟山交付飞机的会议,会议中说到波音会以Part125部的规则把飞机从美国调往舟山,然后再交付。所以我好奇125部的适用范围是什么。

§125.1 Applicability.
(a) ….this part prescribes rules governing the operations of U.S.-registered civil airplanes which have a seating configuration of 20 or more passengers or a maximum payload capacity of 6,000 pounds or more when common carriage is not involved.

然后对于“common carriage is not involved ”的解释是§110.2

§110.2 Definitions
When common carriage is not involved or operations not involving common carriage means any of the following:
(1) Noncommon carriage.
(2) Operations in which persons or cargo are transported without compensation or hire.
(3) Operations not involving the transportation of persons or cargo.
(4) Private carriage.

所以,125部的运行有点像大型私人飞机,飞行只运行自己的雇员,这种服务不对大众(general public)开放。比如大型企业在各大工厂之间运送员工。所以波音向舟山的调机,就只能算成波音自己的飞机,不能承运别的公司的人,也不能载运别人的货物。

最简单的例子就是川普的川普号。

另一个例子就是,如果一个球队拥有一架自己的飞机。如果他只运送自己的球员,那就是125部,如果球队把这架飞机运送了别的球队,那就可能是135部或者121的补充运行了。

网上还有另一种说法(我不确定对不对),如果航空公司把一架飞机只用于少数的固定用户,也能算125部。
