    Commercial Checkride Oral

    If I got hired by a 135 operator immediately after my checkride, yes. As for the second part, if it’s private carriage or one of the exempt operations per 119.1, then it falls under part 91, otherwise it would generally fall under 135

    Instrument Checkride Oral Portion

    No, but going off the assumption that it’s a solid overcast layer throughout the area and there’s no holes then I’d do what I said in the previous answer

    Instrument Checkride Oral Portion

    I really like the scenario you posted, here’s what I’d do - first of all I’m an idiot for getting into that situation with poor planning, but let’s say the weather abruptly changed to that overcast layer at 3000, I’d tell ATC that I am diverting, still have 45 mins of fuel on board assuming...

To answer the second part, if I see the approach lights, but not the red terminating bars I can descend below MDA/DA to 100ft above my TDZE, if I see the approach lights and red terminating bars...
