Book excerpt: A vital resource for any aviation professional, Pilots, Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, Continuing Airworthiness Management Organizations, Aircraft Owners, Private Operators, Airline companies, Civil Aviation Authority Inspectors, Students, Flight Schools, Independent Contractors, Brokers, Aviation Lawyers …. Applicable to both helicopter and fixed-wing environments, whether aircraft are operated privately or commercially, practical information is provided on Airworthiness, Maintenance, and Operations and how they interface with one another. Throughout their careers, Annalisa & Bret have worked with and helped many clients, and they now wish to share what they’ve learned with as many aviation professionals as possible. Their goal with this book is to translate regulatory requirements into practical processes for the reader to understand the dynamics pertaining to the management of aircraft, the different aspects involved, and the importance of the Airworthiness-Operations -Maintenance relationship; because managing an aircraft is not a “one-person job”. Many of the processes and cases described in the book are applicable to most aviation professionals, despite their expertise, area of operations or respective regulatory requirements. The Authors offer regulatory insights into some of the most common Aviation Regulatory frameworks like FAA, EASA, Canadian Aviation Regulation, San Marino Aviation Regulation and the UK Overseas Territories requirements. They depict different operational scenarios, and offer dos and don’ts for Aircraft Management; with real life examples taken directly from their journeys in the Aviation Industry. The book brilliantly merges the industry point of view offered by Annalisa’s expertise with Bret’s perspective as a Regulator.
