I'm looking at setting up an AOC operation and I am interested if anyone knows any good consultants to help with the process?
I need someone to write the Ops Manual and smooth us though the maze.
Location not a problem - anywhere in the uk will do.
Thanks

Crab fat,
be very careful...at least here in Germany there are many wannabees around in this business, you could end up buying crap for a fortune.
If you choose someone, check very carefully with the companies they already brought to a full AOC Status, DONīT use a new one !
This comes from bitter disappointment.
After all, it should not be to hard to do it yourself, have a chat with the authorities, at least in our case they were very helpful...
īgreetings

You need to be looking for an ex CAA Flight Ops inspector to do the job ideally....there is alot about working as consultants.
Viking 9 - you are no-way up to the task - know alot about SOP's as an Ops controller do you ??!!!

Crab Fat,
Don't go Danish on this one. The SLV are impossible to deal with.
Flexjet RIP....................!:eek:

Easy Victor: The Danish SLV had nothing to do with shutting Flexjets flightops down. One of the reasons that Bombardier selected Denmark in the first place whas that SLV are fairly easy to deal with.

yep,
Execujet are still running strong.. Flexjet shot themselves in the foot with silly mismanagment and not taking advice from anybody about doing business in Europe. Nothing to do with the SLV..

Gentlemen,
there is absolutely no need to get this childish on this forum.
It seems to me that whenever somebody is up to the challenge of getting started with his AOC then he is up to the challenge to pick his partners/contractors in a intelligent manner as well.
If Crab Fat prooves me wrong then his operation will be a no go anyway :(
I myself have written an Ops Manual in the past and it is really not that difficult. Just be prepared to work more than 24 boring hours a day at your desk, writing absolutely non-relevant items for the the authorities, that's all folks ;)

Cup B I hope that didn't refer to me...... I asked a question as Crab Fat never had the decency to reply to e-mails etc.

It refers to anybody that feels referred to ;)
Look, why don't we behave like the professionals we're supposed to be? Keep the bitching in the kitchen and show some professionalism here on the forum. I am sure it will make life a lot easier :)

Cup B I agree but as someone started the thread seeking help and assistance, surely it's professional to close the thread and say thanks or something similar. I merely asked a question from one professional to another. I hope that Crab fat found what he was looking for, all I wanted to do was help as I'm sure the others did.

Hi 35.
Afraid I cannot speak freely, but I can assure you that Flexjet Europe's placement in DK had nothing to do with the perceived attitude of the SLV.

Out of curiosity, can anyone give me an idea of what it would cost to set up an AOC operation in the UK, say operating a King Air, PA-31 or similiar. Just thinking about the paperwork aspects such as ops/licensing etc. I have been involved with AOC's many years ago, but that was just VFR AOC. Has JAA affected the amount of work required and the charges?
Cheers

It would appear then that Crab Fat has succeeded in obtaining his AOC and has started operations with the Marshall's Citation Bravo. Well done Sir hope all goes well for the business.:)
