Your aircraft Enrollment - Roadmap
Any time
Contract Signing

It all starts with signing a management contract customized to your needs. Simple, straightforward, and the first step to getting airborne.

2-5 days
Initial Stage: Preparation and Planning
Once the ink’s dry, we hit the ground running. Duration is depent on document availability. We would cover the following:

  • Assessing the aircraft’s status and specific regulatory requirements;
  • Detailed planning for registration and operations;
  • Selecting maintenance location for change of registry;
  • Reviewing aircraft documents to confirm eligibility for registration and airworthiness (including any alleviation measures needed);
  • Deciding whether to register at the aircraft’s current location or ferry it to a cost-effective base closer to your future operations;
  • If ferrying, we coordinate crew, flight support, and one-time permits if necessary.
2-3 days
Filing of all necessary documentation
With planning complete, we kick off registration by filing applications and coordinating with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Once approved, CAA scheduled an airworthiness survey, typically within 2-3 weeks, depending on the aircraft’s location and surveyor availability.
up to 3 weeks
Development of Aircraft-Specific Procedures and Airworthiness Review
In parallel with registration, we get to work on:

  • Developing a Minimum Equipment List (MEL) tailored to your aircraft and registry. Got an existing MEL? That speeds things up. If not, we’ll file for a temporary Master MEL (MMEL) exemption to get you flying ASAP;
  • Updating our operator manuals and procedures to fit your aircraft and operational requirements;
  • Preparing a comprehensive package for the airworthiness survey;
  • Checking aircraft equipment, markings, transponders, and ELTs, addressing any issues before or after the surveyor’s visit (some findings can be closed remotely), actual re-strapping can be done after the survey;
  • Sourcing and training crews to your specific standards;
  • Start of required crew tainings (Operator Conversion Course).
typically 2 days
Survey by the authority
Conduct of airworthiness survey by the CAA assigned surveyor.

Support (if possible, with physical presence) of the CAA surveyor to successfully complete the process and receive Certificate of Airworthiness, and Operational Approvals.
depends on type of findings
Closing of findings, if any
This step is skipped if there are no findings. A finding could be completion of transponder re-strapping and marking application, which only requires a photo proof.

Timing depends on maintenance shop slot availability.

Otherwise should not take longer than 2-3 days.
up to 2 days after survey or closing of findings
Completion of the registration, start of operations
After the issue of all the necessary documents from the CAA, crew trainings completion, operations can start.

From this moment on, your flight is just one call away.
