Aircraft charter and management is one of the most complex sectors in general aviation services that require experience and professionalism. There is a unique relationship between an aircraft owner and a management company which operates the aircraft. This connection is more intense than a traditional relationship of a vendor and a customer.
When an aircraft owner purchases an aircraft but does not desire to staff and management the flight department themselves, they turn to an Aircraft Charter and Management (ACM) operator to handle these arrangements for them.
Every aircraft owner wants to hire a company that can easily understand their specific mission requirements. Several factors are required to be considered while choosing an aircraft charter and management specialist.
Here are 3 things that every owner should diligence when choosing a management company to operate their aircraft:
Experience:
Out of all the important factors, experience comes in first. While selecting an aircraft charter and management specialist it is critical to diligence the experience the company has in this industry and managing your specific type of aircraft. Experience plays a crucial role because it demonstrates what type of services in which the operator has a proven track record of execution. Along with understanding their experience, owners should inquire as to the specific experience with similar aircraft types.
Safety Ratings:
Another important factor that must be considered while choosing the aircraft charter and management specialist are their safety ratings. There are both for profit and not for profit organizations which rate Part 135 operators and publish their ratings.
Previous Clients:
While many aircraft owners desire confidentiality, some are willing to give their names as references. Usually experie3nced operators have some number of prior or existing clients who are willing to give a reference in favor of the operator. Obviously, you will want to speak with a client whose mission profile is similar to your own.
Area of Expertise:
It is important to understand the capabilities and abilities of the operator who is going to provide the aircraft charter and management services. To understand the particular breadth of expertise, the service provider must disclose the summary of their operation and specifications and the specific airframes in which it has experience.
How Do the Aircraft Charter and Management Specialist Measures Success?
Measuring success means the type of reporting received by the aircraft owner meets their expectations and delivers the information they need in an accurate and timely manner. There are specific measurements such as dispatch reliability, but most owners focus on ensuring the aircraft is operated in the most efficient manner possible. A complete owner summary is delivered to the owner by the operator at the end of every month.
It is the right of every owner to seek all the information they would like to see regarding their aircraft. The operator should be able to provide the data in a format acceptable to owner, including mapping to the owner’s general ledger accounts. It can be efficient to implement an Automatic Data Interface so that all data is transferred in real time.
To get results, an aircraft owner must consider all of the points above. The more time and diligence an aircraft owner commits upfront in choosing an operator will usually yield benefits throughout the relationship. If they have limited bandwidth they may wish to engage a consultant to guide them through the process and assist in diligence.

Gastric bypass surgery performed by remote control

A robotic system at Stanford Medical Center was used to perform a laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery successfully with a theoretically similar rate of complications to that seen in standard operations. However, as there were only 10 people in the experimental group (and another 10 in the control group), this is not a statistically significant sample.
If this surgical procedure is as successful in large-scale studies, it may lead the way for the use of robotic surgery in even more delicate procedures, such as heart surgery. Note that this is not a fully automated system, as a human doctor controls the operation via remote control. Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is a treatment for obesity.
There were concerns that doctors, in the future, might only be trained in the remote control procedure. Ronald G. Latimer, M.D., of Santa Barbara, CA, warned “The fact that surgeons may have to open the patient or might actually need to revert to standard laparoscopic techniques demands that this basic training be a requirement before a robot is purchased. Robots do malfunction, so a backup system is imperative. We should not be seduced to buy this instrument to train surgeons if they are not able to do the primary operations themselves.”
There are precedents for just such a problem occurring. A previous “new technology”, the electrocardiogram (ECG), has lead to a lack of basic education on the older technology, the stethoscope. As a result, many heart conditions now go undiagnosed, especially in children and others who rarely undergo an ECG procedure.

Police in Melbourne, Australia are on the hunt for a gunman who killed a man and injured two others in the city’s central business district this morning.
Officials warned all office workers to remain indoors, and train services to Flinders Street Station were temporarily on hold, as investigations were carried out on the intersection of Flinders Lane and William Street.
Malcom Bates, who witnessed the shootings at around 8:15 a.m., said the gunman grabbed a woman from inside a taxi. “The lady got away and he turned and shot three people basically point blank,” Mr Bates said. “I was right across the road”. He said that the incident took no longer than the “wink of an eye”.
Paramedics struggled to revive the one victim for almost an hour before declaring him dead at the scene. The two injured people have been taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition.
Police believe the incident began at the Bar Code 24-hour bar in King Street, when a woman attempted to get into a taxi. She was apparently grabbed by the hair by the gunman who then shot her and two men who attempted to come to her aid.
Police have identified the gunman as Christopher Wayne Hudson, aged 29. They believe him to be a member of the Hells Angels bikie gang. Police have described Hudson as about 180 cm tall, with short brown hair and wearing a dark tracksuit top and dark denim jeans.
A building worker on a construction site on the corner of Queen and Flinders Streets has reportedly discovered a handgun. It is understood the gunman may have thrown the weapon into the site as he fled the scene.
