B. Carriage of Revenue Cargo. The carriage of revenue cargo may be approved (per § 121.163(e)) for a part 121 applicant that has appropriate Department of Transportation (DOT) economic authority to carry revenue cargo. Appropriate DOT economic authority would be, at a minimum, a Show Cause Order or the pending issuance of a Show Cause Order. Applicants seeking FAA certification that do not have appropriate DOT economic authority are not permitted to carry revenue cargo; however, the carriage of company or simulated cargo is encouraged. It is FAA policy to encourage the carriage of cargo on representative en route proving flights, when possible, since the carriage of cargo allows for a more comprehensive test of the applicant’s capabilities.
