Initial Considerations
Before You Commit
What's the optimal mission for your aircraft?
Can your aircraft go on charter?
Who will manage your aircraft?
Who will have operational control?
Before committing significant capital, determine whether the aircraft, ownership structure, business model and certification strategy make sense.Who I Help
Prospective turbine owners: Match the aircraft and ownership structure to your real mission.
Owners considering charter: Find out whether your aircraft can go on charter and what that really involves.
Operators pursuing certification: Build a certification strategy with someone who has reviewed them from the FAA side.
Both Sides of the Desk
I'm a retired FAA Inspector and a former operator. I've evaluated operations as a regulator and run them as a Director of Operations and Chief Pilot. That means I can help you see your plan the way the FAA will see it, and the way an operator has to live with it.
