Going past the 100 hour on a 135 airplane

If the aircraft if is flown outside of whatever the manuals (GOM/GMM) the FAA has approved for that paticular 135 on a 91 flight it can't be used for 135 flights until it is back in compliance with all the manuals that the FAA has approved for that paticular 135 cert. At least thats been my experience. knot4u

That's what I was trying to say!
 
There are a couple of incorrect statements in various posts above. First, just because your company puts something in your GOM does not mean that it does not violate an FAR. I can write a GOM that says that our pilots can fly for 24 hours a day while drinking, and it does not make it legal. Just because your GOM/GMM authorizes you to violate an FAR does not make it legal.

Secondly, your POI has nothing to do with this discussion. Your PMI is the one to which maintenance questions should be addressed to. Maintenance inspectors handle maintenance issues and Operations inspectors handle operations issues. This is a maintenance discussion.

Thirdly, while I side with the camp that says that it it is perfectly permissible to fly some airplanes (depending on the aircraft type) past a 100 hour inspection for part 91 flights, many airplanes have ad's that are due every 100 hours. Those AD's can not be overflown unless specifically authorized in the AD or an exemption.

Not in this thread, but I put that caveat on a discussion of overflying the 100hr for aircraft used for flight training and got jumped because not that many planes have 100hr ADs. Allegedly. Of course, it's not just the plane. It's the plane, engine, prop, and accessories.
