From implementing a safety management system and flight crew hiring to aircraft maintenance, aircraft owners have trouble managing the vast moving pieces of a private jet. To ensure each of your flight experiences is safe, smooth, and comfortable, you might consider enlisting the services of an aircraft management company.
Aircraft structural technicians conduct light and heavy checks on an airplane. Light checks entail checking air pressure, tires, lights, furnishing, and potential cosmetic damages. Heavy checks deal with heavy corrosion, maintaining, repairing, and replacing aircraft structures like wings, tails, horizontal or vertical stabilizers, flaps, and leading edges.
Hundreds of electric systems are fitted to an aircraft to perform vital functions, from light switches to radar sensors. Avionics professionals fix wiring issues and ensure that all of the electric systems work correctly. Mechanics check for any problems with brakes or hydraulics.
Now, the average aircraft owner might not understand the work involved in aircraft maintenance, know the latest FAA regulations, or have the expertise to enlist the help of the right professionals to care for their private jet properly. Aircraft management companies often have years or decades of experience with aircraft maintenance and can manage all the necessary checks and repairs.
The costs of ownership for a private jet are extensive. If you want to make income by renting out your jet to groups, individuals, and businesses, many aircraft management companies will manage charters for you. They can help ensure you charter your plane according to government regulations, collect and disperse charter revenue, and maintain safety.
Private jets are glamorous, but poor operation or management poses safety risks. Aircraft management companies help strategize a safety management system with alerts, regular repairs, technology, and any other support needed to ensure a safe flight every time.
