First Edition 

An eight chapter book where we uncover what Aircraft Management is and what the different parts and facets of it are. The goal is to improve the way of working by clarifying the different parties and roles involved, creating efficient policies and procedures, and improving communication. These help to stop wasting time and money trying to understand who is supposed to do what, how and when. All this is supported by practical examples and scenarios taken directly from the our experiences. In this book you’ll learn:

  • What Aircraft Management is and how it works
  • The different parties involved in Aircraft Management, their roles and how they work together
  • What Airworthiness Management is and its fundamental role in Aircraft Management
  • The role of Type Certificate Holders and Software Providers in Aircraft Management
  • Import and Export aspects
  • Characteristics of Single Pilot Operations
  • The difference between an Aircraft Operator and an Aircraft Owner, and their roles and duties
  • Key insights for managing different types of Operations including Offshore Operations
  • The workflow between Operations, Airworthiness and Maintenance
  • The importance of Aviation Schools
  • What Quality, Safety and Risk Assessments are and why they’re important in Aircraft Management
  • What an audit is, the different types of audits and why it’s important that all parties involved in Aircraft Management embrace audits and inspections

What they say about

"Introduction to Aircraft Management"...

“In the more than 30 years that I have been working in the aviation industry, I have filled various roles described in this book and during this time I have dealt with many different regulations from different authorities. In recent years of course San Marino, but also for many years EASA, OTARs, IoM, not forgetting JAA (I'm getting old) and FAA, but also, at least in Europe, some lesser-known regulations, e.g. CASA (Australia) and Saudi Arabia. Since the book refers to many of the well-known regulations and I am always interested in learning something, I decided to buy the book a few weeks ago. Although I have only read 20% of it, based on what I have read so far, I would recommend it to anyone dealing with aircraft management, independently to which national regulations an aircraft is managed. The reason is, because the basic requirements, especially in terms of continuing airworthiness, do not deviate much, but also because the examples chosen are practical and I can confirm that I have personally seen them and been confronted with many of them. I don't think I'm going to far out on a limb when I say that this book may improve the understanding of aircraft management and subsequently the quality of work.”

Mr. Frank Bauer, Head of Airworthiness at San Marino CAA – Authorised Person (CASA Australia)

“Congratulations on your excellent book. There is a great need in our industry for good quality reference material. Your book will be compulsory reading for our team! Well done on a great production.”

Mr. Michael Byrt – Chief Operating Officer at AerAdvise

I wouldn’t define it as a book because that would be limiting… I would define it as a high-level publication, what in Italy would be defined as a “Bible” that includes every aviation aspects.

You have produced a publication, or manual, that practically covers all aspects about Aircraft Management such as Airworthiness, Maintenance Programs, Aircraft Technical records and others.. software, continued airworthiness and other specific chapters regarding operational aspects, like flight safety, quality and others.

I found the book, based on my experience, very complete and detailed both in the definitions and in the different regulatory regimes and in all those essential aspects needed to operate aircraft safely in accordance with the rules of the different Certifying Authorities.

I believe it (the book) can be considered a complete textbook that should be kept and consulted by those who work at different levels in aviation. Thank you for your work. Congratulations.
