Which FAR 135 regulations are covered by APG’s data?
Here’s how APG addresses the key regulations:
135.379 – Takeoff Limitations (35 ft rule + accelerate-stop):
- APG uses certified AFM Section 5 data, including balanced field length tables that account for the 35 ft obstacle clearance and accelerate-stop requirements.
- V1 speeds are calculated using V1 mini from the AFM performance charts, ensuring compliance.
135.385 – Landing Limitations at Destination (60% rule):
- APG provides a “60% Landing Factor” option.
- In ATLAS reports, this is shown in the “60% FACTOR” column.
135.387 – Landing Limitations at Alternate (70% rule):
- This rule applies only to turboprop aircraft.
- For turbojet aircraft, the 60% landing factor still applies—even at alternate airports.
- APG typically does not offer a 70% option for turbojets unless specifically requested.
- For aircraft like the DA-2000 Classic (a transport category jet), this section is not applicable.
- However, APG ensures that any applicable V-speeds and performance limits from the AFM are respected.
