Part 91 Operations

I just had a question regarding flying for a business which owns and operates a company plane. I may have the opportunity to fly a turboprop for a company under part 91. The company is setting up an LLC to operate the aircraft. The pilot, insurance, and all aspects of the flight operations will be under that LLC. I was reading different threads about operating under part 91 and how you should set up the LLC for the aircraft and then lease that aircraft to the main company in order to avoid breaking regulations. I just would like to know what i need to do to ensure that everything is legal. The flying would be taking the owner of the company around to various locations for meetings etc.
 
Just make sure the employees don't have to pay the company for use of the plane and it sounds like you've got everything else covered already.

Don't know about the above and what and or if you guys are looking for a sub or a SIC, but if you need a backup or a SIC (yes I know that the regs don't require it for Part 91 and it also depends on type) let me know. I live in the salt lake valley. No current time in the king air, but I'm a current CFI and easy to get along with. Good luck with all of the logistics, sounds like a fun gig.

Part 91 + King Air = No loggable time for an SIC. ;)
 
In order to have the aircraft owned under an LLC, you must also have the pilot(s) employed by a separate LLC. The pilots and aircraft be controlled by the same LLC, otherwise it is a commercial operation requiring a Part 135 certificate.

You must set up a lease agreement between "Airplane, LLC" and parent company, as well as a pilot service agreement between "Pilot, LLC" and "Airplane, LLC"
 
There was an article about this in one of the AOPA magazine. I believe it was three months ago about how that is not necessarily the best choice for a company. If your a member, I would reccomend browsing their website for advice or maybe even calling for a consult.
 
I am glad I just have to know the "Part .65t"


All these if/if/and if/then=Part X/but if/and if/then Part Y/ only if/and if/ than Part Z, confuses the hell out of me.
