        <RULE_TITLE>Commuter Operations in Very Light Jets (VLJs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish a rule to allow passenger-carrying commuter operations to be conducted under the provisions of part 135 using multiengine turbojets, certificated under either part 23 or part 25, configured with 9 or fewer passenger seats.  The rulemaking would allow multiengine turbojet operators to provide commuter service to the traveling public, thus accommodating new techonologies and a new generation of turbojet airplanes that otherwise would not be allowed in part 135 commuter service.  Since 1995, turbojets used in scheduled operations must operate under the provisions of part 121. This current rulemaking resulted, in part, from recommendations from the Aviation Rulemaking Committee for parts 14 CFR 135/125 and covers pilot crew, equipment, training, and dispatch requirements for the safe operation of this new generation airplane.]]></ABSTRACT>
