Hazardous materials will be transported on this aircraft\nfor the purpose of eventually placing it in passenger service. You ask if such hazardous\nmaterials are subject to the HMR.\nThe answer is yes. Transportation of hazardous materials aboard an aircraft in the above\ndescribed scenario would be subject to the HMR because the hazardous materials are clearly\nbeing transported in furtherance of a commercial purpose. We suggest that you contact the\nFederal Aviation Administration concerning any additional operating requirements that may\napply when placing an aircraft in passenger service.\nI hope this satisfies your inquiry.\nSincerely,\nHattie L.

It is my interpretation that if the hazardous material is being\ntransported on one's own aircraft which is not in use as a common carrier at this time and\nthe hazardous materials are not being used in furtherance of a commercial purpose, then\nthe hazardous materials regulations do not apply.\nConcerning my own situation regarding an aircraft which I am about to purchase, I would\nlike to know if I can carry such things as oxygen canisters and nitrogen containers to a\nrepair station where the canisters are to be installed for eventual use by passengers in\nlater flights and the nitrogen to be used for servicing of the tires and landing gear struts of\nthe aircraft. No passengers or cargo for hire will be carried while on such a flight to the\nrepair station. The items will be used for servicing of my aircraft.\nBased upon my interpretation of the hazardous materials statute and regulations, I do not\nbelieve that the hazardous materials apply to the above situations. I would appreciate\nknowing at your earliest con\nDenience if my interpretation is correct.","truncated":false,"body_characters":3135}
