Aircraft Management Evaluation, Selection & Oversight
Aircraft Management Company Cost & Service Evaluation
FDS provides an independent, owner-side review of your aircraft management company. The evaluation focuses squarely on service quality, cost control, and owner advocacy based on proven industry practices. And it’s customized to address your unique business aviation needs.
Management Company Selection
Our goal is to identify the right management company that best matches your personal needs and mission requirements, while providing safe and professional support. The process we utilize has proven successful over the course of our years in the business, and has helped us identify a core number of quality management companies for consideration.
Management Company Oversight
Most owners don’t have the time or in-house expertise to effectively monitor the performance of their aircraft management company. We do, and we do it comprehensively and independently as the your representative. Our full oversight services encompass a monthly review of all financial statements and backup details, scheduled and emergency maintenance expenditures, pilot performance, flight planning support and charter operations, if applicable.
Customized Consulting Engagements
The breadth of experience and expertise of our team allows us to provide you with a single source for addressing all your business aviation questions and concerns. We provide project-based, retainer-based, and hourly-based consulting services, dependent on which one is best to meet your needs.
