Which of the following would meet the requirements for a 14 CFR part 135 flight locating when an FAA flight plan is not filed?

A

Receiving VFR flight following services from Air Traffic Control.

B

Operating an aircraft equipped with an approved satellite phone and ELT.

C

Relaying flight plan information to a company flight locator before departure.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

14 CFR 135.79 requires a Part 135 operator without an FAA flight plan to have flight locating procedures, with the flight plan information provided to a company-designated place (flight locator) before departure so the aircraft can be located if overdue. Flight following or onboard equipment does not satisfy the requirement.
