PILOT GEAR by Chad Trautvetter

Flight department management 101. If ever there were a book that is required reading for a business aviation flight department manager, then "Business and Corporate Aviation Management: On-demand Air Travel"-written by long-time aviation management consultant John Sheehan-fits the bill. Whether you're looking to start a new flight department from scratch or are just looking for some guidance in running an existing flight department, Sheehan's book offers plenty of helpful information, as well as numerous real-world case studies. The first three chapters of the text provide a background of on-demand air transportation, how to choose the right option (charter, fractional, management company, full ownership) and how to begin the operation. The next two chapters-"Running the Business" and "Flight Department Management"-are the real meat of the book for aviation managers or would-be managers. Chapters six, seven and eight cover operations, security, maintenance and safety, while the final chapter takes the information from the preceding segments and ties it all together. Completing the book is an appendix that lists contact information for business aviation associations and publications, air-transport analysis checklists, owner-flown procedures and budget justification.

Business aviation -- whether in the form of chartered aircraft, fractional aircraft ownership or full aircraft ownership -- is widely established as an answer to the requirements of many companies.

This book, says the author, was written for two audiences: "Individuals...[and] flight department managers, their bosses and those who would become flight department managers." ...

...experience as a pilot does not necessarily prepare a person for management ... "Business and Corporate Aviation Management" is intended to help overcome such a knowledge gap. ...
