Aircraft management
Your aircraft, run like your own flight department
We set your aircraft up, crew it, keep it airworthy and account for every dollar it costs. You keep control of the aircraft. We do the work and answer for it.
How we start
From first call to first statement
Moving your aircraft to MJM is planned like any other project, with nothing left to chance on the first trip.
- First call
Your aircraft and how you use it
Where it is based, how often it flies and what you pay now.
- Review
Aircraft, records and costs
We go through the aircraft, its logbooks and your current statements.
- Plan
Agreement and budget
A management agreement and an annual budget, both in writing.
- Move over
Crew, vendors and programs
Crew, maintenance tracking, insurance, fuel and vendor accounts moved across.
- First statement
Every invoice attached
One month in, your first statement, with the original of every invoice.
Set up
Ready to fly under Part 91
A new aircraft comes with a long list of paperwork. We work through it in the right order, so the aircraft is legal and ready on its first trip.
What we handle
- Registration and ownership structure, with your attorney
- Insurance, with your broker
- FCC station licence
- Letters of authorization for the way you fly
- Engine and maintenance program transfers
- Fuel contracts and vendor accounts that bill at cost
An aircraft that is legal, insured and ready, with every account set up for pass-through billing.
Fly
Crew and trip support
We crew the aircraft with qualified pilots and support every trip, at home and abroad.
What we handle
- Crewing, full-time or contract
- Crew training and recurrent scheduling
- Trip planning, fuel, handling and ground transport
- International trip support, permits and handling
- The letters of authorization your routes need, from oceanic navigation to data link
- One point of contact for every trip
A trip that is planned before you arrive, flown by a crew you can trust with your aircraft.
Crew standardsKeep airworthy
Maintenance management and compliance
Maintenance is where most of the money goes, and where markups are easiest to hide. We plan it, manage it and check every invoice.
What we handle
- Inspection and component tracking
- Shop visits scheduled around your trips
- Quotes and work scopes agreed before work starts
- Line-by-line review of every maintenance invoice
- Records kept complete and current
- Airworthiness directives and equipment mandates
An airworthy aircraft, and records that support its value when you sell.
Know the numbers
Budget and monthly statement
You should know what your aircraft costs, line by line. You get an annual budget built from actual costs, and one statement each month with the original invoices behind it.
What we handle
- Monthly statement with every vendor invoice attached
- Annual operating budget built from actual costs
- Budget against actual, category by category
- A note on anything unusual before you have to ask
- Records your CPA can work from
- One management fee, on its own line
Illustrative figures in US dollars, drawn to one scale. Maintenance ran over because a gear overhaul came due early, and the owner heard about it before the invoice.
Dry leases and ownership structure
Share or lease your aircraft the right way
Owners often want a second company, a partner or a family member to use the aircraft. A dry lease can make that work. It has to be set up properly, and the paperwork has to be filed on time.
In a dry lease, the aircraft is leased without crew. The company leasing it has operational control of its flights and arranges its own pilots. Part 91 also allows time-sharing and interchange agreements, each with its own rules on what can be charged.
What we handle
- Dry leases between your companies, or with another operator
- Time-sharing and interchange agreements under Part 91
- Truth-in-leasing filings where the rules require them: a copy to the FAA within 24 hours of signing, and notice to the local FAA office at least 48 hours before the first flight
- Operational control that is clear on every flight
- Insurance that matches the lease
- Costs split and billed correctly between the parties
Your attorney and tax adviser draft the agreements. We make sure the way the aircraft is flown and billed matches them.
