Get started in managing deliveries & redeliveries on commercial aircraft...

from the beginning

Introduction to Aircraft Transitions is specifically designed to teach the core key skills required to confidently complete an aircraft re-delivery focusing on the structured fundamentals of a redelivery.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • As an aviation engineering professional I've dedicated years to honing my skills and knowledge in this field. Yet, I've often found that career advancement opportunities are restricted, with only a handful of management positions available for progression.

  • I find myself driven by a passion for the field of aircraft engineering rather than financial gain. Unfortunately, the truth is that monetary opportunities are scarce within maintenance and engineering, making it challenging to achieve financial security through traditional means.

  • Working in aviation, I've seen how big events like 9/11, the financial crisis, and then COVID-19 really messed things up. It's like every time something major happens, there's this uncertainty about whether my job will still be there. It just shows how fragile the industry can be and puts a burden on my family.

  • I have seen aircraft leave or join my airline's fleet over the years and suddenly a random manager turns pushing us that we need to finish up our maintenance so the aircraft can be returned on time, its chaos!. I know there is a better way to do this...

Introduction into Aircraft Transitions

This course is specifically designed to teach the core key skills and principles required to confidently complete an aircraft re-delivery focusing on the structure fundamentals of a redelivery.

Introduction into Aircraft Transitions - Flightpath

Lesson 1

Introduction into Aircraft Leasing and Transitions

Here we will set the scene of the aircraft leasing market giving you content on the market size and shape. We will discuss the scale of aircraft transitions and how that leads us to each aircraft delivery and re-delivery.

Lesson 2

Planning a redelivery for success

Planning is a core fundamental of each an every re-delivery. It is often the reason for failure to transition an aircraft on time. Here we will talk about the planning, the events included and the financial risks of failure.

Lesson 3

Kicking-off an aircraft transition

Starting an aircraft return and onward delivery in the right mindset, focus and timeframe is all important to managing the project to success. We explore the initial kick-off meeting, with an agenda and exploration of the activities ahead.

Lesson 4

The anatomy of an aircraft lease agreement

The lease agreement is centric to how an aircraft should be re-delivered. With an overview of aircraft leasing we explore the key elements for a technical specialist to understand of a lease agreement to ensure you make it happen, as specified.

Lesson 5

The 'Plain English' Principle

Understanding and matching both parties expectations is the key to success of any aircraft transition. We have developed a unique process called the 'Plain English' principle that dramatically reduces return pain points, when applied in action.

Lesson 6

Aircraft records and their part of a redelivery

Aircraft Records are what provide the value of any aircraft and they also are the longest part to complete of any aircraft re-delivery. We explore the records and the types you can expect to encounter.

Lesson 7

Aircraft statements, status reports and dirty finger print records

There are three types of documentation when it comes to aircraft re-deliveries. Statements, Status Reports and Dirty Pinger Prints. We review each type and how you can use them to complete our records review process.

Lesson 8

Dirty finger print records - What are they and how do we use them?

This lesson takes a deeper dive into dirty finger print records and how we use them around the historical records. We also explore the review process and how you can prioritise your review process.

Lesson 9

Horizontal and vertical aircraft records audits

With so many records to review in a limited timeframe, how do you make best use of your time? Understanding different audit techniques will help you understand how best to complete your records review using our 2-step process.

Lesson 10

Open item list

With your review underway you need to log the findings and the Open Item List (OIL) forms the core tool to collate and manage any discrepancies. We explore to how to use it, manage actions and outcomes and any elements that cant be resolved.

But that's not all! Introduction into Aircraft Transitions also comes with these BONUSES to make the whole process easier...

Bonus #1: Question and Answers about aircraft transitions

Bonus #2: Abbreviations and Acronyms used in the aviation industry

Bonus #3: Open Item List Template in Excel - to log you discrepancies

Bonus #4: Practical Exercise to cement your learnings - real aircraft records to practise on

Paul grew up in South Wales, a short distance from his nearest airport, and this fostered a passion for Aviation.

He is a highly motivated aviation professional with over 30 years’ experience working within commercial aviation environment.
