Frequently Asked Questions
The D085 is the official FAA database of all aircraft specifically authorized to conduct on-demand charter flights under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Every aircraft on this list has been inspected, approved, and placed on an operator's Part 135 Operations Specifications.
According to the current FAA D085 listing, there are 10,738 aircraft authorized for Part 135 charter operations across 56 U.S. states and territories.
It means the FAA has specifically approved that aircraft to carry passengers or cargo for hire on an on-demand basis. The aircraft, its maintenance program, and its flight crew must meet the FAA's safety standards for commercial air taxi service.
Contact The Jet Finder with your mission details — origin, destination, dates, and passenger count. We'll match you with available charter-authorized aircraft and operators that fit your requirements.
No. Many privately owned aircraft are registered with the FAA but are not authorized for charter. Only aircraft listed on an operator's Part 135 OpSpecs (and therefore on the D085) can legally conduct charter flights for hire.
The Jet Finder refreshes its fleet data monthly from the FAA D085 and Aircraft Registry to ensure accuracy. Individual aircraft status may change between updates as operators add or remove aircraft from their certificates.
The 10,738 charter aircraft span 9 categories: Turboprop (2,810), Rotorcraft (2,181), Midsize Jet (1,561), Heavy Jet (1,314), Piston (847), Super Midsize (841), Light Jet (593), Ultra Long Range (547), Very Light Jet (44).
