Om du ger flygplanet att transportera bussarna:
Du är en kommersiell operatör och kräver ett operativbevis under del 119 för att flyga under del 135.
-
Om bussarna har ett flygplan (hyra eller ägs) och helt enkelt anlitar dig för att flyga det för dem:
Du kan tillhandahålla dina pilottjänster och fungera som PIC för deras flygplan och betalas när du transporterar tränare som tillåts under 61.133.
De kommersiella pilotbehörigheterna anges i 14 CFR 61.133 .
§61.133 Commercial pilot privileges and limitations.
(a) Privileges—
(1) General. A person who holds a commercial pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft—
(i) Carrying persons or property for compensation or hire, provided the person is qualified in accordance with this part and with the applicable parts of this chapter that apply to the operation; and
(ii) For compensation or hire, provided the person is qualified in accordance with this part and with the applicable parts of this chapter that apply to the operation.
Detta säger att en kommersiell pilot du får betala för att fungera som befälhavare.
För att begränsa detta måste du också titta på 14 CFR 119,1 . Den viktiga delen att titta på här är s 119.1 (e):
(e) Except for operations when common carriage is not involved conducted with airplanes having a passenger-seat configuration of 20 seats or more, excluding any required crewmember seat, or a payload capacity of 6,000 pounds or more, this part does not apply to—
(1) Student instruction;
(2) Nonstop Commercial Air Tours conducted after September 11, 2007, in an airplane or helicopter having a standard airworthiness certificate and passenger-seat configuration of 30 seats or fewer and a maximum payload capacity of 7,500 pounds or less that begin and end at the same airport, and are conducted within a 25-statute mile radius of that airport, in compliance with the Letter of Authorization issued under §91.147 of this chapter. For nonstop Commercial Air Tours conducted in accordance with part 136, subpart B of this chapter, National Parks Air Tour Management, the requirements of part 119 of this chapter apply unless excepted in §136.37(g)(2). For Nonstop Commercial Air Tours conducted in the vicinity of the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, the requirements of SFAR 50-2, part 93, subpart U, and part 119 of this chapter, as applicable, apply.
(3) Ferry or training flights;
(4) Aerial work operations, including—
(i) Crop dusting, seeding, spraying, and bird chasing;

(8) Operations conducted under part 133 of this chapter or 375 of this title;
(9) Emergency mail service conducted under 49 U.S.C. 41906; or
(10) Operations conducted under the provisions of §91.321 of this chapter.
När du lägger ihop dem kan du alltid betala för att vara PIC, men om du ger flygplanet och blir en operatör, så finns det en mycket liten lista med saker du kan göra utan ett driftscertifikat.
