Executive and Business Aviation

1. Private Aviation

2. “In my opinion ninety
nine percent of the
people in your industry
are thieves, charlatans
or liars. Which one are
you?”
Adrian Braimer-Jones
Family Office
As opening lines to meetings go that one
certainly makes you stop and think.
From this question grew the conviction
that there was a real need for a source of
trusted advice based purely on the needs
of the client and not on the interests of the
aviation industry.
The acquisition of a private jet represents
a pinnacle in life. It’s a valuable and
highly complex asset but managed
correctly it is to be enjoyed.
You don’t need to become an expert, what
you really need is straight-forward advice
from experts.
AQ select offers private aviation advisory
services you can trust, meaning you just
sit back and enjoy the flight.

5. Private or Commercial
operations is no longer a
simple choice.
New European
regulations close the gap
where previously the only
consideration was
potential charter revenue.
AQ select guidance when
you need it.
Single regulation for all European
registered aircraft administered by
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
From August 2016 all aircraft over 5.7 tons
will have to operate either Commercial
(Part-Cat) or Non-Commercial Complex
(Part-NCC)
Part-NCC regulation is very similar to Part-
CAT and mandates enhanced quality, safety
and maintenance management systems
with regulatory oversight
Existing operators with commercial Air
Operator Certificates (AOC) should be
compliant. Existing private operators will
have to develop, implement and gain
regulatory approvals to comply with Part-
NCC
