More than just a year.... I know of one local FBO that recently got their
135 cert after originally applying over 3 years ago. Even with the boiler
plate procedure manuals and a chief pilot currently working part 135, the
FSDO inspectors put them on the "rewrite required" carousel time after time
and the re-inspections took months to reschedule. If I didn't know better,
it appeared as if they were attempting to wear them down to the point that
they'd withdraw their application.

I am in the market for a 135 operation. I am finding out that going
through the FAA would take about a year and I don't have the time to
wait that long. If anybody has one for sale or knows someone that is
thinking about selling it, let me know.

Thanks
