Default Air taxi vs. Charter or Part 135

How is this different from charter or 135? If they are the same, they
why are all 135 ops not prefixed with the "T" identifier?



As far as I know, they're all the same. It's been a while since I was a
charter pilot but it was all done under part 135. I have no idea why the
identifier is different. Maybe the operator has canned flight plans that
spit out the identifier?

When I was flying charter, my flight plans didn't indicate that I was
doing anything different than any part 91 operation. I was flying for a
FBO, so it wasn't like we were running a mini airline.





According to the AIM...

Pilots operating under provisions of 14 CFR Part 135 and not having an FAA
assigned 3-letter designator, are urged to prefix the normal registration
(N) number with the letter "T" on flight plan filing; e.g., TN1234B.

But lots of folks never do it.
