Carsten

In response to the strong growth in requests for our services from international markets, we at the AeroVisto Group have created structures over the last few months that will enable us to meet the current demands. This includes our new sales team.

We spoke with Carsten Matthiesen, CEO and Executive Director Commercial of the AeroVisto Group, about the current development, the present challenges and the targets set Here is the first part of the interview

Carsten, you have been with AeroVisto as CEO from the very beginning and have always been heavily involved in customer relations. How would you describe the core values followed in sales at the AeroVisto Group?

CM: Well, to put it briefly, we are service providers, not sellers! We have always followed this principle when interacting with prospects and customers. This means accompanying a customer in the long term – in good and bad moments. It also means that I can’t be indifferent to whether a project goes well or not so well. When you’re as close to the customer as we have been from the very beginning, you have to be able to look your counterpart in the eye at all times. That’s an obligation.

Isn’t this approach exhausting in the long run?

CM: Relationships between people always involve „costs“ and personal commitment – whether in the private or business sphere But this commitment pays off Private and business aviation has always been a people business It generally involves significant investments –and mutual trust is an absolutely essential foundation That’s why we have always regarded cultivating customer relationships as a „matter for the boss “

What does that mean in real terms?

CM: It means that we feel personally responsible for the satisfaction of our customers. And yes, I know that every company and every sales team claims they always work in a customer-oriented manner. But if you look around the market, the question is how far this promised customer orientation goes. Am I really trying to take my customer’s perspective? Or am I trying to sell the customer what best utilizes the capacities in my production? How often do I reply to my customer that this request is not realizable? And why do I do this – out of convenience, because I don’t want to disrupt my internal processes, or because it really is beyond the scope of what is feasible?

Matthiesen about current development, challenges and the targets of the AeroVisto Sales Team
"We are service providers, not sellers!"

Carsten Matthiesen, CEO and Executive Commercial of the AeroVisto Group

But you’ve also had to tell a customer, „that’s not possible,“ haven’t you?

CM: Yes, of course – that happened and still happens occasionally But: If a customer’s request pushed us to the limits of our possibilities, we were not satisfied with the fact With Hermann Bauer, we always asked ourselves: OK, what must we do to overcome these limitations and accommodate the customer further? From such situations, sometimes the best offers and ideas emerge

For example?

CM: For example, we realized how important it is for a customer, an aircraft owner, to see and feel the materials live before making a decision. It is only sometimes possible for the decision-maker to visit us in our manufactory. So it was clear that we had to take on-site material selection at the customer’s site to a new level. That’s how we came up with our Mobile Showroom, which now regularly tours Europe. It was a similar story with our packaging and logistics service. We were simply not indifferent to whether it was easy or difficult for a customer to ensure that the disassembled cabin parts arrived safely at our facility. The logical development of this customer-oriented idea was then the close cooperation with VARTAN AERO, thanks to which we can optimize the processes for our customers even more

How does that pay off?

CM: We are known on the market as service providers, not sellers. Experience over the last few years has shown that this makes a big difference. This is the reason why we have so many returning customers. Customers come back because they want to, not because they have no other choice. And that’s precisely how it should be!

Now AeroVisto has grown strongly. With Zurich and Schnaittach (Germany), new locations and many new team members have been added – also in sales. What challenges does that bring?

CM: Yes, that’s right We are happy about this expansion and about the fact that our team is growing In the last few months, we have recruited some great, strong personalities for the Group This also changes the character of the team That is only natural, and it is what we want The challenge now is to work together to ensure that the core values we have established in the relationships with our customers continue to be lived This is a fundamental goal, especially for our sales team, which is particularly close to the customer

Why is it so vital for the sales team to understand the group’s core values?

CM: Because as a company, we want to remain authentic and committed to our principles despite all the growth We want to continue to be fast in our response, continue to be close to the customer, and, as before, cultivate the intensive customer relationships that we have built up And that is mainly the responsibility of our sales team

How do you find the right people for this task?

CM: We always keep our eyes and ears open to see if there are still people in the business who value and embody the kind of consulting culture we practice And yes, they still exist These are the candidates we approach

"One team, one goal: Maximum customer satisfaction!"
AviationHeavenGuide|5

What else should a sales team member bring with them?

CM: Well, when we talk about being service providers, it means that every single sales team member should feel personally responsible for customer satisfaction They should have a personal desire to be perceived by the customer as a consultant and partner, not as someone who offers commission-driven off-the-shelf solutions A salesperson should never be indifferent to what he or she is selling to the customer This requires the proper essential attitude towards the business, personal commitment, and the will to perform This may be read easily on paper But it is quite a challenge to maintain this high level in daily work, especially when the volume of inquiries and orders increases noticeably, as is currently the case at AeroVisto

And what about professional competency?

CM: We want to continue to be the „realizers of our customers‘ wishes.“ That’s why, as a direct contact, you must understand and feel what is possible and feasible. On the one hand, this has to do with technical solutions and understanding of materials, but also with the fact that large refurbishment projects require much time for implementation and must therefore be well planned and timed Commitments to a customer directly impact the performance and success of our company That’s why it’s essential that all sales team members are technically competent and creative but, at the same time, think entrepreneurially

What does it mean to think entrepreneurially in Sales?

CM: Well, when we talk about continuing to respond quickly to customer inquiries, we need short paths and quick decisions Customers don’t want to and can’t wait until a service provider’s CFO signs off on a calculation But that requires a high decision-making ability for our customer advisors – in other words, in Sales When we talk about „Sales Directors“ at AeroVisto, these are not titles for the business card Instead, it is an appropriate job description – in terms of decision-making ability but also the entrepreneurial responsibility for the success of the Group

How does the AeroVisto Group deal with the increasing volume?

CM: We have created structures at the right time to react flexibly to the current growth But we are talking about the parallel execution of complex aviation projects at different locations in Europe or even worldwide This requires close coordination between sales, project management, and the manufacturing units‘ site management So, there must be no silo thinking in people’s minds like “Oh, those from Sales,” or “Oh, those from Production again ” To succeed, we must act as one unit, one team with one goal: Maximum customer satisfaction

Isn’t this demand on a team a self-evident fact?

CM: It may sound self-evident, but it’s not Mainly if you have worked in large companies in the aviation industry, such departmental thinking can be profoundly in-rooted and noticeably disrupt processes Customers and prospects sense this So, you have to get out of any silothinking-habit quickly at AeroVisto We make this easy for our employees – with special training, continuing education, and a strongly socially oriented corporate culture

Riding the highs and lows of elite mountain bike racing: an interview with Coen Skrypnek

In the exhilarating world of mountain biking, athletes often experience a rollercoaster ride of triumphs and challenges as they push their limits Coen Skrypnek, a promising young mountain bike racer sponsored by Camber Aviation Management, recently encountered a setback that temporarily halted his championship journey. We interviewed Coen before his unfortunate crash and the interview reflects his hopes and optimism at that time. While the accident has derailed his plans for the time being, we commend Coen on the hard work and determination he has shown on his journey.

It is an unfortunate reality that setbacks are an inherent part of any athlete's career. Coen's story serves as a reminder that a low point does not define one's path and remains a testament to his resilience and dedication to his calling.

Camber: It’s great to catch up with you again - can you give us a brief idea of what's been happening since we last spoke?

Coen: Of course! The last season after we spoke was my final year in in the junior category and that was definitely a roller coaster - the season ended off pretty well but I definitely wanted more. In the junior category you get 2 years from 17 to 18 years old - then you're thrown into elite racing, which is a huge jump in skill level. Now I'll be racing against guys I've grown up watching my entire life. Knowing I’ll be racing against my idols is very cool but also kind of scary – just being in the start gate with these guys is quite surreal.

Camber: I can imagine that there’s a lot of emotions going on.

Coen: Exactly. With that being said though, I feel like I've set the expectations quite low for myself, so I have space to grow with it, rather than expect the world first time round. And during the last winter, I've been working between five to seven days a week doing the evening shift at a restaurant, so I’m able to train during the day. In winter it gets dark early in Squamish. So that way, I could train all day, go to the gym, ride and then work through the night until 10-11. At the restaurant, I started off back-of-house but I've started to serve now, which is better money and more enjoyable. Then, around this, I’ve been training and riding until the race season started and now, I've already had two big races.

In the Washington State race, I didn't have high expectations because I'm going up against some amazing riders I've looked up to for years. And at the first race, I got fifth out of 60 guys and was on the podium, so I kind of surprised myself. Then, for the most recent race I was at in Port Angeles, WA, and I had low expectations again – I’d actually missed a day of practice due to travelling. So being able to actually win that race was incredible. And it was on Mother's Day as well, so it felt like it was dedicated to my mom, for sure. I had to call my parents the moment I found out I won but when I got through neither of them believed me at first!

It was a real surprise because the field of racers I was up against was stacked with the best riders in North America. So, I guess the dice rolled my way thatday and I had a great race so now I'm just hoping to keep that momentum going forward. Camber: You must have been walking on a cloud for the rest of the day!

8|AviationHeavenGuide

Coen: I felt like saying “Pinch me. Is this real?” I don’t think I believed it at first, either! It's really cool to see all the work paying off though. There’s a lot of lows and things that can go wrong with this sport and you take that in your stride as much as possible but the highs cancel them out immediately – it’s unreal. That’s why we do it.

Camber: Could you talk me through what it's like to ride at elite level for the first time and then suddenly realize that, “Oh my God, I could win”. And then you win. I I'd love to hear more about that journey because that sounds a bit of a roller coaster.

Coen: Yeah. So downhill mountain biking is where they send everyone individually down one race track. You have days to practice that race track and figure out the way you're going to ride it: how fast you're going to ride it, the speed for certain jumps, how are you going to ride certain sections etc. Then you have one chance on race day to put it all together, which is usually 3 1/2 minutes. So there’s hours and hours and hours of prep that go into one three minute session.

It's a lot of pressure. And again, like I said, I haven't had huge expectations for my first week elite year just because I'm racing in some pretty heavy categories so I was pretty loose and having fun. Usually I get pretty nervous beforehand but I wasn't too stressed out this time. I wanted to have my best run and have fun on my bike. And, because that was like the main goal I wasn't too scared and just wanted to get going, so that's what I remember - I had a smile on my face during the countdown.

There were a couple of scary moments where I pushed the speed a little too hard, then needed to remind myself to reel it in a little and not get too excited. But it turned out well, then I crossed the line, and I remember they called out my time, and it was a good amount faster than my qualifying time. I remember thinking “OK, that's awesome. hopefully I can get a good result now.” Then as more guys were finishing, I realised I was holding the lead for a good amount of time and started thinking I might even be able to get on the podium.

Then the final two guys came in - one of them, Finn Iles, has even won a World Cup before - he's the guy I looked up to all the time in racing. And I thought “It would be amazing if I could get second and have a picture of me and Finn Iles on the podium” but when he rolled across the finish line, my buddies said “You’ve won!”. I was in disbelief - it was really emotional. With everything I've done to get through this winter and the previous years, it felt really good to accomplish something so incredible.

Camber: That must have been an incredibly intense like 3 1/2 minutes.

Coen: Yeah, so, in those mishaps, I did get very single-minded. Where I was pushing really hard because I wanted to do well and maybe it was a little bit too hard. So I had to tell myself during that run to reel in a little bit, that I was excited but I could do this. About mid-run I had to tell myself “You've done this before, just relax and have fun” which worked as I just rode smoothly the rest of the time.

Camber: That must be quite a difficult balancing act to pull yourself back but still stay determined to win.

Coen: Exactly. And that's where the whole mental thing comes in as well. Because often when that happens, you might try to make that time up and go faster, but in reality, at that speed, things can happen very quickly. So it's not just a matter of going faster, it's a matter of also keeping it under control.

Camber: So, what has winning that race left you with?

Coen: Definitely a confidence boost and a good idea of knowing where I can be. It's definitely a good reminder to keep doing what I've been doing and try to just try and keep that momentum rolling for the for the overseas races because those are what really matter. I just have to keep building on it for the summer. I'm, I'm excited to see what happens.

Camber: Is it weird to have such an amazing day where everything’s going perfectly to then going back to work in the restaurant and everyone's just normal but inside, you’re thinking “Wow, I won an international mountain bike race yesterday.”

Coen: Yeah, like 110% it is, although it is humbling. I'm probably one of the only guys on the podium who isn't getting a salary from riding mountain bikes. But that's kind of the goal moving forward - to land a spot like that.

Camber: It’s to your credit that you’ve achieved this whilst working full-time. You've got a ridiculously busy schedule where you're trying to fit everything in, yet you still stay grounded and don’t complain about the hours and you've managed to do this whilst being one of the few that isn't taking a salary for it.

AviationHeavenGuide|9

Coen: I do. I do like to think that everything I do - all the work I've been doing in the restaurant and all the hours training is all aimed towards mountain biking. I've been putting in a lot of hours to do this and it feels great that it’s paid off. I remember getting off the podium and the other racers were saying “let's go ride sometime this week” but for me, it meant fitting it in before or after work. Which, I really don’t mind - like, If I can fit it into my schedule that’s great but it does take some organisation. Although I really enjoyed going back to the restaurant - I love everyone at that place - It's all so nice. And I do think that they know that I do what I do outside the restaurant although they just don't really understand the extent of the work that’s involved. So you know being there is, fun and I enjoy it. The social aspect’s good too but, you know, it is work.

It's a bit complicated to explain. So, for example – while I love the service industry and I’m really enjoying it at this point in my life, it’s become clear that this isn’t what I want to do long-term, as I really want to make the whole riding thing my career. But, you know, we'll see what happens.

Camber: That's brilliant. When we last spoke, you were like looking at potentially going to uni. So are you taking a gap year to work and help fund a lot of the racing?

Coen: Absolutely. I’ve just recently submitted all my residence fees and details for next year, so I'll be going to university in September, but this past winter I’ve just been focusing on how I’ll manage to do everything necessary this year, it's likely to be a bit of a make-or-break summer for me, depending on how I do.

So yes, I’ve put all my time and effort into figuring the season out and, honestly, I was a little upset at first that I didn't go to school. I had a lot of friends who were experiencing the whole university thing and definitely had some FOMO but I got over that pretty quick and I wouldn't change this year. If anything, I think I’ve learned a lot more about myself than I think I would have if I’d started at university the past year.

Camber: What sort of things do you feel like you've learned about yourself with the experience this year?

Coen: Well, I know that I must keep myself busy - I find I can't just sit around. One of my friends told me this quote that “Only boring people get bored” and I love that - I think it's great.

I found that I wouldn’t have much time, so I thought what do I do?” So I started to plan out a better routine for myself which gave me some time while working through the winter – that was immensely helpful. With the short days in Squamish and working all the time, I found I needed that structure. I also got into listening to a lot of neuroscience podcasts that fascinated me. I’m going to school for psychology, so I have started to think that perhaps neuroscience could be in my future as well. It can help you understand why you feel the way you do and how you feel the way you do. So I took a lot of that and, although I loved it, it wasn't so much of a hobby as it was a way for me to figure out how to motivate and structure myself throughout the winter and adapt to the new situation. It was neat to kind of dive into something different.

10|AviationHeavenGuide

Camber: So what’s your training schedule?

Coen: During the winter, I would wake up between 6:30 and 7:30. I would go to the gym, then go ride for maybe two or three hours. Then I'd come home and make myself a big lunch. After that, I'd usually go jump in the river.

Camber: That certainly took a turn!

Coen: I mean, I'm sure you guys have heard the whole cold dip thing.

Camber: Does it work?

Coen: It really does. It’s like a shot of caffeine in a sense. One thing I learned from these podcasts I listened to is that by putting yourself in a stressful environment, even physically - like cold dips - it makes everything feel a lot less easier afterwards. And because I was in the kitchen all winter, it was a pretty stressful environment so doing that before work definitely made me feel better. Then I'd go work for seven hours in the kitchen and get home around 10 - 10:30. I'd stretch before I went to bed and now I can't sleep without stretching beforehand, although I’ve found it’s best to do it at least 15 minutes before I sleep. That helped me wind down and it was good for my body as well a way of mentally relaxing.

Camber: How are you feeling now after your big win?

Coen: It’s been 10 days now and it felt amazing but it’s starting to sink in that there’s still a long way to go and I need to keep building on it.

Camber: So what’s next - what are you really excited about?

Coen: Well, I have a couple days to rest and chillax here before the week I leave for Europe, so I'm going to do an overnight hike tomorrow.

Camber: You relaxed with an overnight hike? That doesn’t sound particularly restful!

Coen: I know but I love it. We’ll be just hiking and camping which is a good thing because I can get away from my phone and escape all the logistics and arrangements for a few hours. Then I'll come home and pack for when I leave for Europe in 10 days to go race, so I’m mentally preparing for that trip too. Otherwise, I’ll be getting in a little more riding and laying low wherever possible.

Camber: What are your expectations for the next race?

Coen: Ooh, that's a tough question because it's a huge jump into the deep end of racing – it’s my first Elite World Cup. As I said, I don't have too many expectations, but I have goals and I'd love to qualify for an elite World Cup - that would be a be a huge thing. I'm going to go in with an open mind and just ride my bike as fast as I can.

Camber: You clearly have a lot of discipline but do you chafe against any of the restrictions you’ve set for yourself?

Coen: Yeah, sometimes. There are definitely nights where I'm like “I really wish that I could take time off work and just have some evenings at home”. Also, I work evenings all the time and my mom and I are on completely different schedules, so I barely see her.

But you know, we're, I'm at a position where it’s necessary and it’s definitely all worth it, so I'm willing to do whatever’s needed so that I can race.

Camber: You must be keen to get some down time after the madness of the summer?

Coen: Definitely. And I think university will be a good change. It’ll be exciting to live on my own and learn new things and dialling into something different for a couple months. I’m looking forward to meeting new people and exploring a new city and the countryside.

Camber: So are you going to balance uni with the racing?

Coen: Yes, I’lll definitely take a couple of months to get settled in and concentrate on university after being off school for a year, but I'm hoping to try and figure that out, down the road. I haven't given it too much thought yet, but Victoria and Vancouver Island have got lots of great areas for riding.

AviationHeavenGuide|11

Camber: Have you been doing any more fundraising after the ride you did last year for charity?

Coen: I did a repeat of the Dawn till Dusk event and that went exceptionally well. We raised over $5000 for charity: part of the cost went to my racing endeavours and then part of it went to Sea to Sky, which is a youth centre in town. So we’ve really been pushing the promotion for that and raising awareness for youth mental health. The day came together brilliantly, but then we were stuck in traffic for 4 1/2 hours between stops because of an accident! Obviously, you can't control that though and we had over 20 people join me this year. So it was wicked - very, very fun.

Camber: It’s a good cause with the mental health epidemic amongst young people - how do you keep yourself from going down that rabbit hole?

Coen: Well, there were multiple times this winter where I felt like I was falling down a rabbit hole in a sense. But then I was able to bring myself out of that by keeping my structure, being aware of my goals - working through like that, really. And just honestly, a really big part of staying grounded is by talking about it with my family. I think that's really important and a lot of people won’t do it and keep things bottled up to themselves.

Also, I think a lot of it is on the person themselves and realising when you get stuck in a place where you’re complaining don’t know how to do anything about it. Everyone's got stuff to deal with and everyone has their own issues - it just matters with how you deal with it. It can be hard to reach out for help sometimes or know how to take action yourself - there are so many tools available but many people don’t know how to find them. So, really, the dawn till dusk events I think are as much about bringing attention to it as well as fundraising.

Camber: What would you say is like the biggest problem facing young people mentally today?

Coen: That's a hard question too. Uh, obviously the big one is social media. But there's also a lot of set expectations for kids that can be hard to live up to - like having to have a certain look or owning certain things. It’s really important to be able to appreciate what we have and not be jealous of what others have. I think that's a big thing because you look online and see all these amazing luxuries that influencers have but you really need to focus on what you have and what you're grateful for. Because a lot of people are more fortunate than they think.

Camber: What are you most excited about in the next season?

Coen: Well, I'm excited to travel a little more. I'm excited to see how I can stack up against the top dogs of the sport. It'll be really cool to throw my hat in the ring and see what happens. I've had a little bit more experience now being overseas so it won’t be as overwhelming this time, so I think I kind of have a hold of what I need to do and what I need to think about. As much as it will be cool to be in Europe, I think it's less about traveling and more about racing and keeping that focus.

Camber: You’ve had a huge jump in the areas you’re competing in - how has the last year prepared you for it?

Coen: I think I had a lot of expectations for myself in junior. I didn't really understand how to deal with the anxiety before racing and I didn't really have an edge that I could find but I think I’m a lot stronger as a rider now. I don’t think you can ever master something like this but I do have a better hold on things mentally now. I feel more calm going into races and just feel ready to go. In terms of maturing in the sport though, I definitely think this winter has been a big growth curve for me.

12|AviationHeavenGuide

Camber: How important is sponsorship to athletes like yourself when you're competing?

Coen: It’s crucial, and Camber’s support for me over the last few years has been amazing. Biking is a very financially demanding sport, particularly with the championships and the amount of travel we do, so having help with the flights is incredible. It helps so much than you’d expect because it takes a big weight off and means I can afford accommodation or parts for for my bike or competition fees – things like that. It means I can concentrate more on training and don’t have to worry about logistics so much.

Before we spoke to Coen, he’d had a remarkable start to his championship journey in the elite races, culminating in a victorious race before his trip to Europe. However, fate took an unexpected turn as he suffered a severe crash, forcing him to withdraw from the remaining races this season. While the original interview does not reflect the crash or Coen's current state, it is crucial to remember that setbacks are an integral part of an athlete's journey. Coen's story serves as a reminder that a low point does not define one's career, but rather underscores the immense effort and unwavering dedication invested in the sport.

Camber has always been a steadfast supporter of Coen's athletic pursuits, and we are incredibly proud of his perseverance and determination. Despite the disappointment surrounding the recent setback, Coen has shown remarkable maturity and acceptance in the face of adversity. He recognizes the unique experience he had, traveling overseas and competing at the highest levels of international mountain biking championships.

While Coen's journey has taken an unexpected turn, he values the moments of triumph and the opportunities he has been granted thus far. The original interview captured his optimism and dreams before the crash, emphasizing the excitement and hope he carried into his European adventure. As Coen begins his recovery, it is testament to his indomitable spirit that his disappointment hasn’t overshadowed the incredible achievements he has already made.

In the world of professional sports, it is essential to strike a delicate balance between pushing boundaries and accepting the risks involved. Coen's story serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of athletes who face both triumphs and setbacks along their path. Camber Aviation Management stand unwaveringly behind Coen, ready to provide support as he overcomes future challenges and achieves remarkable success in his chosen path.

CAMO-EfficientlyPlanningScheduled MaintenanceforYourPrivateJet

The practical guide how to get things done!

Properly planning scheduled maintenance for your private jet is vital for ensuring its continued airworthiness and peak performance. With typically two maintenance slots needed per year, optimizing these opportunities is essential. This article outlines the key steps to plan your private jet's scheduled maintenance efficiently, including incorporating service bulletins and airworthiness directives, preparing well-organized work packages, and contacting the maintenance provider in a timely manner to minimize ground time and control costs effectively.

Leveraging Maintenance Slots:

Understanding that private jets typically have two scheduled maintenance slots per year is crucial for maximizing their utilization. By effectively utilizing these opportunities, operators can ensure their aircraft remains in optimal condition, reducing the likelihood of unexpected issues and minimizing costly disruptions.

Incorporating Service Bulletins and Airworthiness Directives:

To maintain the highest safety standards and regulatory compliance, incorporating service bulletins and airworthiness directives into your maintenance schedule is essential. Properly addressing these updates during scheduled maintenance ensures that your private jet remains up to date with the latest manufacturer recommendations and regulatory requirements, enhancing safety and performance.

Preparing Well-Organized Work Packages:

To streamline the maintenance process and optimize productivity, preparing well-organized work packages is vital. These packages should include a detailed checklist of maintenance tasks, parts, and materials required for the scheduled maintenance. A well-prepared work package enables maintenance providers to plan efficiently, reducing potential delays and ensuring a comprehensive assessment of your aircraft.

Timely Communication with Maintenance Provider:

Contacting the maintenance provider well in advance of the scheduled maintenance is critical for securing the desired slots and minimizing downtime. Early communication allows the maintenance team to allocate resources, including skilled technicians and required equipment, ensuring a seamless maintenance process with minimal disruptions to your flight operations.

Controlling Costs with Transparent Maintenance Input:

Having a well-prepared maintenance input helps operators maintain cost transparency and ensures that expenses stay within a reasonable amount. A detailed and transparent maintenance input allows operators to identify potential cost-saving opportunities, negotiate with suppliers, and make informed decisions on the scope of maintenance tasks, all contributing to a more efficient and cost-effective maintenance process.

Planning scheduled maintenance for your private jet is a proactive approach to ensuring its airworthiness and optimal performance. By strategically utilizing the available maintenance slots, incorporating service bulletins and airworthiness directives, preparing well-organized work packages, and engaging in timely communication with your maintenance provider, you can minimize downtime and control costs effectively. Proactively managing your private jet's scheduled maintenance contributes to enhanced safety, regulatory compliance, and a more streamlined and cost-conscious maintenance process, ultimately delivering a superior flying experience for you and your passengers.
