Get in touch with the CAA to inquire about the application process for block permits. They may provide you with guidelines, application forms, and a list of required documentation.

Collect all necessary documents. This may include aircraft registration, airworthiness certificates, insurance papers, and operator certifications. Also, include details of the planned flights, such as routes, dates, and times.

Submit the completed application form along with all required documentation to the appropriate division of the CAA.

The CAA will look at your application. This may include talking with other departments like air traffic control, customs, and immigration.

Be prepared to provide additional information or clarification if requested by the CAA during the review process.
