Missing categories

[JamesDC152]

Hi

Had this rejected for missing categories https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=11191682 but I don't know which, as its a twin prop its not a "small prop" and I do not believe its lighter than air? can a screener let me know?

cheers

Small prop category is used for all planes with capacity up to 12 passengers - no matter how many engines they have.

Thanks for the info.

Has that been a recent change of criteria? As you say 12, the guidelines say 10, and does the passenger include crew? How do you know if it's 1 crew aircraft or two? It is essentially meaning you have to look up the seating plan of each aircraft now, which of course varies per customer specification?

this is the first time I've had a rejection for a twin prop regarding the small prop category when I've never used it before on any twin prop aircraft

Ah it's 10 as per guidelines, my mistake, apologies

But what about crew?

Very interesting question,There are FAA regulations to refer to, but I'm not sure if they apply here.


Sec. 135.411 applicability

An approved aircraft inspection program may be used under Sec. 135.419.

To be fair, it's quite obvious your upload is a small prop. Indeed as guideline we have the as Tomasz said. But common sense is very applicable for this one to. It's hardly bigger than a Cessna 182 for example.

As I mentioned before, its the first time i've had a rejection for a twin prop aircraft withot using small prop category, which is why I questioned it, as small "prop" implies 1 engine
