What are Remote Part 135 Pilots?

Remote Part 135 Pilots are licensed aviation professionals who operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. These regulations allow for commercial drone operations, including package delivery, cargo transport, and other services, often from remote locations or through remote piloting. Remote Part 135 Pilots must meet specific certification and training requirements, and they often work for companies involved in logistics, surveillance, or aerial data collection. The role requires strong knowledge of FAA regulations, safety protocols, and advanced piloting skills.

What is the difference between Remote Part 135 Pilot vs Remote Part 91 Pilot?

AspectRemote Part 135 PilotRemote Part 91 Pilot
CertificationsCommercial Pilot Certificate, specific Part 135 trainingPrivate or Commercial Pilot Certificate, general flight experience
Work EnvironmentOn-demand charter flights, scheduled or unscheduled operationsPrivate flights, corporate travel, personal use
Employer & IndustryPart 135 charter operators, air taxi servicesPrivate aircraft owners, corporate flight departments

Remote Part 135 Pilots operate under FAA Part 135 regulations, focusing on on-demand charter and air taxi services, requiring specific certifications and training. In contrast, Remote Part 91 Pilots typically handle private or corporate flights with less regulatory oversight. Both roles demand strong flying skills, but Part 135 pilots often work in more regulated, commercial environments, while Part 91 pilots focus on private flight operations.

What are some common challenges remote Part 135 pilots face, and how can they best prepare for them?

Remote Part 135 pilots often encounter challenges such as managing variable schedules, adapting to rapidly changing weather conditions, and ensuring clear communication with dispatch and ground support from a distance. Staying organized, maintaining up-to-date certifications, and being proactive in pre-flight planning are essential for success. Building strong relationships with operators and consistently reviewing company procedures can help remote pilots navigate these challenges effectively and ensure safe, efficient operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Part 135 Pilot, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Part 135 Pilot, you need a commercial pilot certificate, strong knowledge of FAR Part 135 regulations, and substantial flight experience, particularly in multi-engine and turbine aircraft. Familiarity with avionics systems, flight planning software, and satellite communication tools is vital, along with any required type ratings or recurrent training. Excellent situational awareness, decision-making, and communication skills help manage dynamic flight conditions and remote coordination with dispatch and ground teams. These skills ensure regulatory compliance, operational safety, and efficient mission execution in often challenging and isolated environments.
