An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote.

About Dakota Flight Center
Dakota Flight Center is an independent FAA Part 61 flight training school at the airport in Mitchell, South Dakota, the town best known for its Corn Palace. It trains pilots from their first lesson through to professional and instructor ratings.
The school offers private pilot, instrument, multi engine, commercial and tailwheel training, along with instructor ratings for flight, instrument and multi engine instruction. It runs discovery flights for people curious about learning to fly, and it schedules lessons in the morning, evening and at weekends to fit around work and school. It says it teaches one to one and in small groups, and that students who own an aircraft may be able to train in it.
Its training fleet is unusually varied for a small school. It lists a retractable gear Cessna 182, a Piper Cherokee Warrior, a twin engine Grumman Cougar, a Piper J3 Cub, an American Legend Cub and a helicopter, and it mentions a Super Decathlon used for aerobatic and upset training. A Cessna 182 Skylane is listed on its FAA certificate.
The company says its aircraft are maintained on site in Mitchell by certified mechanics, with access and fuel available around the clock. Dakota Flight Center is a flight school rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
