Aircraft Consulting And Acquisition Services
Aircraft Selection, Acquisition, and Disposition
We help clients select the right type of aircraft to meet their needs, negotiate and facilitate the purchase or lease of the aircraft, and manage the process of selling or disposing of the aircraft when it is no longer needed.
Flight Scheduling, Travel Planning, and Crew Training
We manage flight schedules, coordinate travel plans for passengers, and provide crew training to ensure safe and efficient operation of the aircraft. This can include managing flight crew scheduling, arranging for ground support services, and handling other logistical details related to air travel.
FAA Maintenance Management and Compliance
We ensure compliance with FAA regulations related to aircraft maintenance and safety. This includes overseeing maintenance schedules, tracking maintenance records, and managing the process of obtaining and renewing necessary certifications and licenses.
Operating Budgeting and Finance
We develop and manage operating budgets for aviation operations.
This includes forecasting expenses, tracking revenue, and making financial decisions that help optimize the performance of the aircraft and operations.
Aircraft and Operations Records Management
We manage the many records and documents associated with aircraft and operations.
This includes keeping track of maintenance records, flight logs, and other important documents, as well as ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to record keeping.
What we do
Find the right aircraft for you!
Defining the mission is the first step! We can help you determine what your mission needs are and find the right aircraft to fill that need. Then we can guide you through the complex acquisition process.
Market knowledge, aircraft knowledge, and negotiation skills are critical to a successful purchase. The ultimate objective is to find the right aircraft at the right price for you!
Experienced pilots
We provide professionally trained, experienced pilots to fly your aircraft!
Your safety is our first priority!
Our pilots are all highly experienced, trained professionals. Safe, cost-effective operation depends on consistent operation by well-trained pilots. Inexperienced, poorly trained pilots compromise your safety and compound your expense through higher maintenance costs.
Operating budget
We develop a specific operating budget for your aircraft!
An aircraft is a complex vehicle! Every aircraft has its own unique training and maintenance requirements.
Manufacturers’ recommended pilot training is often required by insurance companies and it’s important to select the right solution. Planning for regular inspections and maintenance requires attention to detail and the latest FAA and manufacturer’s requirements.
Overhauling of engines and propellers and upgrades in equipment, interior, and paint are expensive and require careful planning. Without a thorough analysis of an aircraft’s maintenance history and a specific operating budget, every expense can become an unpleasant surprise!
Utility
We maximize the utility of your aircraft!
Your schedule is our schedule!
We make sure the plane and crew is always ready to go. All you have to do is pick up the phone! And when your aircraft is down for maintenance or your need more capacity we have access to other aircraft under our management.
If you have a travel management group, we will work closely with them to meet your needs.

AIRCRAFT CONSULTING AND ACQUISITION SERVICES
Advanced Aviation Concepts, Inc (AAC) has more than 30 years of experience providing aircraft evaluations, acquisition consulting, and pilot training in the Cessna Citation 500, 525, and 650 series aircraft.
We take the emotion out of the buying process! We work independently, impartially, and unbiased for you, the purchaser of a used Cessna Citation aircraft. We are not aircraft brokers! As agents for the buyer, we invest the time necessary to research the market and industry contacts to develop a pool of aircraft for the client to review. Then we work to identify the best aircraft with the best pedigree, that will meet the customer’s mission. This requires time and, depending on the customer and the market, the normal time frame is 60 to 90 days. If the aircraft we specialize in won’t meet your needs, we’ll tell you upfront and refer you to an industry associate with expertise in the aircraft that will.
