3. The Services
Ferry Flights
By definition, ferry flights involve moving aircraft from point A to point B. This inherently involves
different logistics than flight tests. The latter in most cases involves flights from and to the same airport.
AeroPersonnel provides highly experienced flight crews for any commercial transport aircraft. It also can
provide total project management for any mission profile. This includes:
• Total mission planning and control including financial forecast, flight/landing clearances, flight
following and reporting;
• Flight crew documentation including technical, diplomatic and security clearances;
• Aircraft documentation and airworthiness status verification, aircraft equipment and performance
analysis;
• Logistic support including flight navigation planning, flight crew positioning, aircraft provisioning,
fueling and ground support;
• Detailed mission financial forecast and expense reporting;
• Detailed technical and operational mission report.
Our objective is to provide our ferry fight services in the most efficient and cost effective fashion.
Test Flights
Aircraft flight tests do not demand the extensive mission support that ferry flights require. But they
demand detailed and exacting precision while evaluating aircraft and their systems.
• Flight test activities are conducted in accordance with specific customer and regulatory requirements;
• Flight tests follow customer requested flight profiles and can cover comprehensive functional
evaluation of all aircraft systems;
• All tests activities are provided in a professional and independent fashion.

customer selected report format.

airworthiness status of each aircraft being evaluated. All evaluations and reviews are done in accordance
with customer and regulatory requirements.
