Calculate the operating cost and financing for new in-production aircraft. Customize to your operation.

This guide sheds light on the aircraft acquisition process, setting expectations for the steps involved: sourcing, brokers, offers, contracts, inspections, escrow, titles, registrations, tail number changes, and registration blocking.

An aircraft is a legitimate and valuable business tool that generates deductible business expenses. Proper structure and record-keeping are essential to cover your assets from municipal, state, and federal taxation agencies.

Learn about the Flight Department Company Trap, dry leases, depreciation, sales/use/property tax, deductions, SIFL, FET, and SEC considerations.

Arranging accounts, subscriptions, and communication tools for a flight department is complex. Aircraft type, mission, and department size greatly influence structure. This guide covers all the categories to consider, along with options. As complexity grows, building an integrated ecosystem of services becomes key.

Contract fuel is a code word for discount fuel, but not all fuel programs are contract fuel providers. Between contract providers, fuel brokers, membership-based programs, and volume/loyalty programs, there are, by my count, 16 different options for operators.

Datalink is an umbrella term for an aircraft's capability to send and receive text messages. There are numerous acronyms due to the advancement of equipment over the years and the naming conventions of aircraft avionics manufacturers, but the two primary streams of data are either ACARS or CPDLC. The aircraft hardware is the same; the difference is the network you transmit on and who you talk to…

Enroute CPDLC is now live for all of US domestic airspace. L3 Harris has a CPDLC portal that is your go-to source for applying and learning about the new procedures.

In the ADS-B era, any ADS-B equipped aircraft is trackable. There are several steps you can take to increase your privacy via FAA programs: CARES, LADD, and PIA. None of the programs offers an entirely anonymous solution. To travel compeley incognito, don't own an ADS-B transponder.

FAA LOAs for Part 91 turbine operators. Complete breakdown of all LOAs for your operation: MEL (D095/D195), RVSM (B046), oceanic LOAs, approach authorizations, streamlined LOA process, and quick reference chart.

A Minimum Equipment List (MEL) Letter of Authorization (LOA) is necessary for a turbine aircraft to depart with inoperative instruments or equipment. A Special Flight Permit is needed if the item cannot be deferred via a MEL. The primary source of information is AC 91-67.

To “self-authorize” your operation for RVSM via the ADS-B exemption, ensure your aircraft qualifies, the crew are properly training, and complete a little bit of paperwork. International operations will require a full RVSM LOA from the FSDO.

Considerations for implementing a Safety Management System (SMS) in your Part 91 operation.
