belizean validation

belize does not have it's own license system. to be able to fly commericially in belize you have to get your current license (FAA, JAA, Canadian, ect.) validated by the civil aviation authority for use in belize. this requires writting a written test and you have to have a minimum of 750 hours total time.

there are 2 commuter airlines and 2 charter companies in belize. maya islan air and tropic air both hire forieng nationals when the need is there. they fly C172, C207, caravans and islanders. the charter companies care called Cari-Bee and Javiers Flying Service. Cari-Bee flies a C182 and a cherokee 6. Javiers flies a C172 and a C206.

currently we have more than enough pilots here, but there is a good chance of some need this fall.

good luck
