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 Norton Aviation
Norton Aviation is a flight training company in the Sarasota area of Florida, with its address on Longboat Key. It offers personalised one to one flight training programmes, which it describes as FAA approved, on light jets, and a Twin Commander 690 turboprop is listed on its FAA certificate.
Its training covers the Eclipse 500 and 550, very light jets that are often flown by owner pilots, and the Embraer Phenom 100 and Phenom 300, among the best selling light jets in the world. Owner pilots moving up to a jet usually need a type rating and mentoring before flying on their own, and specialist instructors who know each type well are an important part of that transition.
The company runs an online learning system that students sign up to, so ground study can be done before and between flights.
Sarasota and the Gulf Coast offer good flying weather for much of the year, which suits intensive training. Norton Aviation is a flight training company rather than a charter operator, so this profile is listed for reference.
