Aircraft management means a professional team handles the day to day work of owning an aircraft, so the owner can simply fly. It usually covers crew, maintenance coordination, scheduling and paperwork.
What a management program typically handles
- Crew. Finding, scheduling and keeping qualified pilots current on training.
- Maintenance. Tracking inspections and coordinating repairs so the aircraft stays airworthy.
- Scheduling and trip planning. Planning flights around the owner's calendar.
- Records and compliance. Keeping logbooks and regulatory paperwork in order.
- Charter options. Some owners choose to offer their aircraft for charter to help offset costs.
Questions to ask a management company
Ask how maintenance is tracked, who the crew is, how trips are scheduled and how costs are reported to you.
