Airborne 08.11.21: Blackshape Gabriél, Bahamas VAX Regs, United Mandates

Also: FAA On The Warpath, Wings Over North Georgia, Tamarack Joins ICAO, OFT-2 Valve Issue

Ameri Aircraft Sales and Service in Houston, Texas, is now the exclusive sales and service dealer for the Blackspace line of aircraft.

The Gabriél is the trainer version of their higher performance Prime model, certified in the EU and about to become certified by the FAA under reciprocal agreement protocols. Gabriél is a tandem-seat, retractable-gear design constructed of carbon-fiber prepreg, steel and aluminum. It is powered by a Lycoming IO-320-D1B 160 hp engine turning a Hartzell three-blade constant speed prop. Our friend, Jim Parker of Caribbean Flying Adventures, has informed us that things have changed with Bahamas entry requirements... again. He notes that as of August 6th, vaccinated individuals must also submit a negative PCR or Antigen test to enter the Bahamas. Unvaccinated individuals are still required to present a negative PCR test for entry. An expected new mandate is requiring all active United Airlines employees, including flight crews, in the United States to be vaccinated by October 25th, or five weeks after FDA approval of the vaccine, depending on which date arrives first. Those who show proof of vaccination by September 20th will be compensated with an extra day of pay. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
