Part 135 is FAA. Lilium is German/EU.
- pdelbarba 6y agoIf they're operating in the US (given all the pictures of US cities) then they will absolutely be flying part 121 or 135.
- looping__lui 6y agoTrust me - Germans wish they had FAA because it is magnitudes more customer focused and actually “reasonable”. The German LBA is literally Prussian Bureaucracy stuck in the 19th century...
- looping__lui 6y agoOk - maybe those hating me for the comment: FAA validation for my German license took a day and I got a plastic card license after 6 weeks with a preliminary one right away. Changing ownership of a plane took me 6! weeks with the LBA. I guess that there are potentially 10+% of all planes in Germany operated with an American N-registration (owned by a trust) because the maintenance overhead and paperwork headache is so much lower. Imagine registering your German car with a German license plate in the US and setting up a German entity so you could pull that off - how big would the difference in pain have to be?
