Thanks for any info, I can't glean it from reading part 135.

You can do it with dual electrical/vacuum systems like in the Cirrus
SR22 and others. The other single engines like the Cessna 172/210 can
only be flown IFR with freight.

For airplanes under FAR 135 IFR a SIC is ALWAYS required, now that
being said you may apply for "autopilot authorization" that will let
you use an autopilot in the place of a SIC.

In the case of trying to purchase a 135 Cert, you would need to upgrade
the cert to a full cert, then leave the management team in place,
change the company ownership then over 12 - 18 months you can change
the management team members. You can find the % of the management that
must stay on in the FAR's.

If you have more questions after you read FAR 135 AND FAR 119 feel free
to give me a call @ 270-823-4782
