Can crews conduct repositioning flights under FAR Part 91?

Crews can conduct repositioning flights under FAR Part 91 because this regulation allows for greater operational flexibility compared to other parts of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Under Part 91, which governs general aviation operations, repositioning flights refer to movements of aircraft that are not for the purpose of carrying passengers or cargo for compensation or hire, thereby not requiring the same level of regulatory scrutiny as commercial operations.

Repositioning flights are essential for ensuring that aircraft are available at the right location for scheduled flights, maintenance, or other operational needs without violating regulations. This flexibility is particularly useful for companies that operate a fleet under different contracts or service agreements, allowing for efficient management of aircraft resources without additional regulatory burdens.

Considering this framework, the other responses do not accurately capture the allowances under FAR Part 91; it is not restricted to just company policy or emergency conditions. The regulation allows such flights as part of normal operations, provided that they comply with all existing safety and operational requirements outlined in Part 91.
