Can't wait for my first passenger flight from MRY to SFO! Can't come soon enough for those of us in Santa Cruz County and Monterey County. If you ever need a 225 lb "cargo load", feel free to reach out to me. I'm more than eager! Might even buy Microsoft Flight Sim to step up from RC Pilot to Sim Pilot.... brilliant move folks!

Congratulations on the first simulator flight of a long and gruelling certification flight test program. I hope there are no surprises and you are able to show compliance with all the flight and performance requirements of the regulations using the real conforming aircraft. How long to you expect this critical activity to take?

Great and please come to give us your flight test feed back to the next SETP European Symposium in Toulouse the 23 to 26th of June https://www.setp.org/european/54th-european-symposium-preliminary-schedule-of-events.html
