42 and 145 apply to which type of operation?

The numbers refer to requirements that kick in for commercial aviation operations under an Air Operator Certificate. Part 145 covers maintenance organisations—who is approved to perform maintenance and to what standard. Part 42 covers continuing airworthiness management—how the fleet’s airworthiness is managed between inspections. Both apply when an operation is conducted under an AOC, i.e., for Regular Public Transport and other commercial, scheduled operations. Private flights aren’t under an AOC in the same way, so those Part 42/Part 145 frameworks don’t apply to them in the same manner. Non-scheduled operations can also be under an AOC, but the most straightforward match for these parts is Regular Public Transport operating under an AOC.
