Sounds like you are going to have a rough time.

The "certificate holder" has the certificate....not the airplane.

Sounds like pie in the sky to me. It is difficult just to get in the front
door of the FSDO these days.

Good luck and I hope you have a lot of time and money!

More than just a year.... I know of one local FBO that recently got

135 cert after originally applying over 3 years ago. Even with the

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

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

That is what has been my understanding. The FAA does not want to give
out anymore 135 tickets, so instead we are just going to buy one. We
were looking into getting a 414 and now are looking into a Seneca III. A
pretty big difference, but it is cheaper to start out in. I don't know
much about Senecas so I am busy familiarizing myself with them.

Would you not still have all the same issues with having to write the
required opspecs for the specific aircraft you want to attach 135 to?

We are looking for a plane that already has a 135 ticket on it. Sorry, I
should been a little more specific.
