International Flight Operations.
Web-based operations software is used to schedule and dispatch aircraft and pilots; track pilot currency; track aircraft airworthiness; and, maintain company and pilot records. The software makes life simple: the Captain needs to print a dispatch sheet, enter weight and balance information prior to departure, and enter flight data upon completion of the trip. The home page presents the due dates for all pilot and aircraft items and is color coded to quickly identify items coming due or past due. The software protects agains situations where flight and duty limits are exceeded, rest periods are inadequate, or aircraft time limits are exceeded.
The dispatch sheet is a guarantee by the Director of Operations and Chief Pilot for Part 135 flights that:
|
In the hands of a Captain, the computer-generated dispatch sheet assures:
A. Client: All clients in your database and printed on the dispatch sheet have been qualified and verified to assure the following:
1. Do-Not-Fly List: The client, or their representative, is not listed on the TSA Do-Not-Fly list.
2. Positive Identification: Positive identification of the client is on file at your office.
B. Schedule: The schedule is compliant with regulations and, in particular, assures the following:
1. Rest Period: There are adequate rest periods scheduled for the flight crew.
2. Flight and Duty Time: The flight and duty time limits are not exceeded.
3. Scheduled Maintenance Items: The aircraft will return to the maintenance base before the next scheduled maintenance item is due; or, provisions are made to have scheduled maintenance and inspections performed away from home base at the appropriate time.
C. Departure/Destination: The airports of intended use meet the requirements of the aircraft and operations for the existing conditions:
1. Runway Length: The runways of intended use are of sufficient length given the current and forecast weather for the type of operations and the capability of the aircraft.
2. Runway Lights and Airport Facilities: The runway, taxi, airport lighting, approach, and airport facilities are adequate for the type of operation.
3. FBO/Airport Facilities: The FBO and airport facilities are adequate to provide service required by the aircraft and flight crew.
D. Passengers: Each passenger is okay to fly:
1. Positive ID: Each passenger has been positively identified via an acceptable picture ID.
2. TSA Do-Not-Fly List: Each passenger boarding the aircraft has been verified against the TSA Do-Not-Fly List.
3. Changes: Notify the base and obtain approval for any added passenger not on the dispatch sheet. Passengers that are on the dispatch sheet and that do not show only need to be annotated on the dispatch sheet.
E. Aircraft: The aircraft is airworthy with no outstanding maintenance items:
1. Scheduled Inspections: All inspections have been completed and adequate time remains before the next due inspection.
2. Deferred Maintenance Items: All deferred maintenance items have been adequately addressed and are being tracked and managed by the Director of Maintenance.
F. Flight Crew: Each flight crewmember is current and qualified:
1. Currency: Each flight crewmember meets the appropriate currency requirements.
2. Airman Medical: The medical class is appropriate for the type of operation and that the due date has not been exceeded.
3. Check Rides: The 135.193, 135.297, and 135.299 check rides have been accomplished within the required time period.
4. Recurrent Training: All initial and recurrent training on company procedures has been accomplished within the past 12 calendar months.

Pilot Records (for each pilot)
Aircraft Conformity Inspection: The conformity data prepared to add your aircraft to our certificate can be re-used at the time you do the conformity inspection for your certificate. Your maintenance shop will complete the conformity inspection worksheet, time critical component list, AD list, and inspection status. Our Director of Maintenance will verify the accuracy and completeness of the data, work to resolve any issues, and present the data to the FAA who oversees adding the aircraft to our certificate. All of the above items can easily be presented to your Principal Maintenance Inspector during your conformity inspection so you will not incur this cost twice. It's a beautiful thing.
Pilot Training: We will administer anti-drug and alcohol misuse training, company procedures training, emergency hands-on drill training, security awareness training, and TSA security training. We will develop an aircraft-specific training manual and get FAA approval. Pilots will be trained (at your expense) by SimuFlite to the Part 135 standards specified in our training manual and complete check rides according to FAR 135.293, 135.297, and 135.299. If your pilots have recently completed training, their prior training will be accepted at no or at minimal cost. Your training and check rides will be transferrable to your new certificate with only the 135.299 line check and oral required by your Principal Operations Inspector.
Costs: Our operating costs are about 60% of the industry standard and are presented in the table below. There will be a cost for the aircraft conformity inspection of $5K to $10K, depending on the hourly work that we provide for the activity. Our FAA certified repair station will provide oversight and resolve maintenance issues as described above during the conformity activities and inspection. Additional costs for advertising, quoting, booking, billing, and providing flight support for charter operations is about 10%. This cost can be avoided by you performing these functions according to our procedures (which will soon be your procedures). We can perform some, all, or none of these business functions depending on your capability and available resources.
