FACEBOOK: Updated Summary Final Steps (2) Until Take-Off
Remaining Tasks (with my time guesstimates in blue) For BLTA Certification (Essentially 2 Tasks, #3 & #4 are formalities):
1.) Mini Evacuation Test & Simulated Ditching Test
* Planning & Preparation already completed. Should take 1 or 2 actual days, but required paperwork may stretch it to a week.
2.) Proving Flights
* 100 Hours Flight Time required for BLTA to demonstrate they can safely perform their proposed route. Estimate up to a month, but again, paperwork required.
3.) FAA Air Carrier Certificate Issuance
* FAA paperwork required, but FAA has known this is coming.
4.) Inaugural Flight
* BLTA has been preparing for this moment for years. FAA to allow Promotion and Ticket Sales 30 to 45 days prior to Inaugural Flight.
