Private Aircraft Owners & Family Offices

Your aircraft, your time, your peace of mind.

Buying, importing or keeping a business jet often means meeting the rules of two aviation worlds: an aircraft built, maintained and documented under FAA standards, operated under European rules, or the reverse. Aero Consulting takes that weight off your shoulders. One senior expert, one point of contact, complete confidentiality.

How we help

• US ↔ Europe registry transfers. Moving an aircraft from the US register to a European one, or back? We review the records, identify the gaps against the destination requirements and prepare everything needed for the airworthiness review, so the transfer happens without surprises.
• Pre-purchase records review. Before you sign, we examine the aircraft's maintenance history, airworthiness directives, life-limited parts and traceability. You know exactly what you are buying, and what it will take to operate it where you plan to fly.
• Ongoing airworthiness oversight. After the transfer, we stay at your side as an independent expert, working with your approved airworthiness management organization (CAMO) and your maintenance provider to keep your aircraft compliant, year after year.

Why owners choose us

• A single senior expert. Alain François, former business-aviation pilot and airline director, FAA Commercial Pilot, 25 years in regulatory compliance, handles your file personally.
• Discretion. Your aircraft, your transaction and your data remain strictly confidential.
• Both sides of the Atlantic. In-depth knowledge of FAA and EASA frameworks, in English or French.
• Remote and responsive. Secure document exchange and video meetings on your schedule, including US Eastern Time.

How it works

1. A private first exchange, your way: a 30-minute call or a simple email, whichever you prefer, to understand your aircraft and your plans.
2. A fixed-price proposal within 48 hours.
3. Records review and a clear action plan.
4. Follow-through until your aircraft is flying under the right register.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be in Europe or in the US to work with you?
No. Everything is handled remotely through secure document exchange and video meetings, on your time zone.

Can you work with my management company, broker or lawyer?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with the people already around your aircraft. You keep a single point of contact, and we speak directly with the others.

What do you need to start a records review?
Access to the aircraft's maintenance records, logbooks and airworthiness documents, usually as scans or through your maintenance provider's records system. We tell you exactly what is missing.

Is Aero Consulting a CAMO or a maintenance organization?
No. We are independent experts. We do not maintain aircraft or issue certificates; we review, advise and oversee on your behalf, alongside your approved CAMO and maintenance provider.

How is my information protected?
Your aircraft details, transaction and documents are kept strictly confidential and are never shared without your consent. We are happy to sign your non-disclosure agreement.

How much does it cost?
Every aircraft and project is different. After a first exchange, you receive a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours, with no commitment.
