The FAA delays the launch of California Pacific Airlines

California Pacific Airlines (Carlsbad) has been delayed in its Part 121 certification process according to this report by U-T San Diego. The process has reportedly been brought back to the preliminary stages for an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) according to the report. One of the issues appears to be whether the Embraer 170 can safely operate on Carlsbad’s short runway.

The McClellanโ€“Palomar Airportย is a publicย airport three miles (5ย km) southeast of the cityย ofย Carlsbadย inย San Diego County on the Pacific Ocean. The single runwayย (6-24) is 4,897ย feet long (1,493ย meters).
