The first conversation is a thirty-minute status call, no charge and no obligation. You describe the operation. We walk the Part 5 requirements together. You leave knowing your actual distance to the May 28, 2027 declaration, and a firm number if you decide you want help closing it.
If you are further along than you thought, the call is short and you lose nothing. Either way you get a straight answer.
Make the call useful
No preparation is required, but if you can speak to these four items, the thirty minutes produces a real answer instead of a get-acquainted chat.
Part 135, 91.147 LOA, or both. Fleet size, bases, and roughly how many people fly, fix, and dispatch.
A manual, a template you bought, a voluntary program from years back, or honestly nothing. Nothing is a fine answer. It is the most common one.
The person with real authority over resources, and the person who would run the system day to day. Often two different people, and both matter.
When you want to file, and how many hours a week your leadership can genuinely give a build. We plan around the real number, not the hopeful one.
No, but the runway is real. A typical build runs twelve weeks, and the system then needs months of operating history behind the declaration. Start this quarter and you file with close to a year of receipts. Start next spring and you are attesting to a system with no track record, in front of an agency Congress has told to check.
The Readiness Review is $3,500 flat and credits toward a build. The Pre-Declaration Review is $6,500 flat. A full Build & Implementation is priced by certificate size and complexity, and you get a firm number on the status call before committing to anything. Full detail on the services page.
Yes. The rule covers air tour operators holding a 91.147 letter of authorization, with the same May 28, 2027 deadline as Part 135 certificates. Most tour operators we talk to did not know this. The ones who find out in 2027 will have the hardest spring in the industry.
