ance of a requirement unnecessary for
safety.
(i) The 10-mile width specified in
SectionSection 135.369 through 135.373 may be reduced to 5 miles, for not more than 20
miles, when operating under VFR or
where navigation facilities furnish reliable and accurate identification of high
ground and obstructions located outside of 5 miles, but within 10 miles, on
each side of the intended track.
(j) Each certificate holder operating
a commuter category airplane shall
comply with Section 135.398.

Section 135.364 Maximum flying time outside
the United States.
After August 13, 2008, no certificate
holder may operate an airplane, other
than an all-cargo airplane with more
than two engines, on a planned route
that exceeds 180 minutes flying time
(at the one-engine-inoperative cruise
speed under standard conditions in still
air) from an Adequate Airport outside
the continental United States unless
the operation is approved by the FAA
in accordance with Appendix G of this
part, Extended Operations (ETOPS).

Section 135.365 Large transport category airplanes: Reciprocating engine powered: Weight limitations.
(a) No person may take off a reciprocating engine powered large transport
category airplane from an airport located at an elevation outside of the
range for which maximum takeoff
weights have been determined for that
airplane.
(b) No person may take off a reciprocating engine powered large transport
category airplane for an airport of intended destination that is located at an
elevation outside of the range for
which maximum landing weights have
been determined for that airplane.
(c) No person may specify, or have
specified, an alternate airport that is
located at an elevation outside of the
range for which maximum landing
weights have been determined for the
reciprocating engine powered large
transport category airplane concerned.

(d) No person may take off a reciprocating engine powered large transport
category airplane at a weight more
than the maximum authorized takeoff
weight for the elevation of the airport.
(e) No person may take off a reciprocating engine powered large transport
category airplane if its weight on arrival at the airport of destination will
be more than the maximum authorized
landing weight for the elevation of that
airport, allowing for normal consumption of fuel and oil en route.
Section 135.367 Large transport category airplanes: Reciprocating engine powered: Takeoff limitations.
(a) No person operating a reciprocating engine powered large transport
category airplane may take off that
airplane unless it is possible - 
(1) To stop the airplane safely on the
runway, as shown by the acceleratestop distance data, at any time during
takeoff until reaching critical-engine
failure speed;
(2) If the critical engine fails at any
time after the airplane reaches critical-engine failure speed V1, to continue the takeoff and reach a height of
50 feet, as indicated by the takeoff path
data, before passing over the end of the
runway; and
(3) To clear all obstacles either by at
least 50 feet vertically (as shown by the
takeoff path data) or 200 feet horizontally within the airport boundaries
and 300 feet horizontally beyond the
boundaries, without banking before
reaching a height of 50 feet (as shown
by the takeoff path data) and after
that without banking more than 15 degrees.
(b) In applying this section, corrections must be made for any runway
gradient. To allow for wind effect,
takeoff data based on still air may be
corrected by taking into account not
more than 50 percent of any reported
headwind component and not less than
150 percent of any reported tailwind
component.
Section 135.369 Large transport category airplanes: Reciprocating engine powered: En route limitations: All engines operating.
(a) No person operating a reciprocating engine powered large transport
category airplane may take off that
