What management means here
We manage
it all
Owning a Citation is straightforward right up until you own one. Crew currency, inspection intervals, insurance renewals, hangar space, fuel contracts, records, a dispatch call at six on a Sunday morning — none of it is difficult in isolation, and all of it is relentless.
Hand the aircraft to us and it becomes our problem. We crew it, schedule it, oversee its maintenance, keep its records audit-ready and put it on our FAA Part 135 certificate so it earns when you are not flying it. You call, and it is ready.
This is a small programme by design. We manage Citations, we manage them from Pensacola, and we would rather do that properly than manage anything, anywhere.
What we handle
- Crew sourcing, training and currency
- Scheduling and dispatch, 24/7
- Maintenance oversight and vendor coordination
- Airworthiness records and compliance tracking
- Hangarage and ground handling at KPNS
- Insurance coordination and renewals
- Fuel programmes and trip expenses
- Charter revenue under our Part 135 certificate
- One monthly statement you can actually read

Getting started
From handshake
to hangar
-
A conversation about the aircraft
Type, hours, inspection status, how you actually use it and how often. We need to understand the mission before we can tell you what management should cost.
-
Records and airworthiness review
We go through the logbooks, ADs, service bulletins and component histories. Sometimes this turns up work that needs doing before anything else — better to know now than in month three.
-
A management proposal
Scope, fees and the charter revenue picture in writing. No percentage-of-something-vague, and no surprises buried in an appendix.
-
Onboarding
Crew assignment and training, insurance and hangar arranged, records brought onto our tracking, and — if you want charter revenue — the aircraft added to our Part 135 certificate.
-
Then it just works
You call, it flies. We handle the rest and send you one statement a month.

Questions
Straight answers
Do you do the maintenance yourselves?
We oversee it. Our A&P technicians handle the work that falls under our Part 135 maintenance program and we coordinate everything else with the right shops — scheduling it, being present for it, and checking it before the aircraft flies again. We are not a Part 145 repair station, and we would rather tell you that plainly than let you assume otherwise.
Can my aircraft earn charter revenue?
Yes, if you want it to. We hold our own FAA Full Part 135 certificate, so your aircraft can be added to it and flown as charter when you are not using it. Some owners want that, some want the aircraft sitting ready and untouched. Both are fine.
Do I lose priority on my own aircraft?
No. Owner schedule comes first, and charter is fitted around it rather than the other way round. That is the whole point of managing with a small operator instead of a large one.
What types do you manage?
Cessna Citations. It is what our crews are typed on, what our technicians know, and what we operate ourselves. Another type would mean learning on your aircraft, which is not a service worth selling.
Where do you manage aircraft?
Across the Emerald Coast, from Birmingham down to Mobile and east to Destin, based out of Pensacola International.
