Thanks, appreciate the info and am aware of the pilot permit vs the yacht permit itself.
I managed to get in touch with correct person that is current processing our French carribean permit for the yacht pad itself.
if anyone else needs the contacts I’ve had success with PM me and I’ll pay it forward.
For what it’s worth, there’s a bunch of private companies/handlers contact me saying they will take care of French permits for like $2k per permits. It’s not necessary, it’s all free you just need to know where to send everything to. There’s also the false claims of being able to ‘speed up’ a permit, also false. Just some food for thought for anyone else running their own bird off a yacht.
slowly building a WhatsApp group of yacht pilots to share all this stuff.
