Aviation Department Development
We can assist you in establishing your Aviation Department from the ground up or review your existing department's daily operation under our Department Audit Program for FAA Part 91 Operators. Areas we will help develop or evaluate are:
- Staffing needs of the department from Crewmembers to Travel Coordinator
- Office equipment recommendations with related hardware/software
- Determine current and future aircraft requirements
- Ascertain flight planning requirements (domestic & international) with associated software & publications
- Address security concerns and airport authority requirements
- Establish maintenance management programs for the aircraft(s)
Attention will be given to flight currancy, enrichment training, and negotiating training contracts. Fuel discount programs, structure of salaries, and insurance are other areas we can evaluate for possible cost savings. By evaluating your company's travel policy, we can offer methods and solutions to reduce your overall travel expenditures such as airline, car rental, and hotel costs. Our focus will be on ways to improve the department's daily operation, reduce your daily cost and time, while improving the company's cash flow.
