All of our highly trained pilots and  aviation maintenance technicians receive regular recurrent Euro copter factory training, specifically the requirement of FAR part 135 air carrier standards and our fleet is serviced on a daily basis in our own 24 hour 7 days a week maintenance facility.  This coupled with our unsurpassed safety and security measures assures our passengers the safest and most pleasurable experience possible.

ABOUT FAR PART 135:  The FAR's are rules prescribed by the FAA governing all aviation activities in the USA.  The FARS are part of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).  FAR Part 135 is part of the Federal Aviation Administrations operating requirements specifically intended for commuter and on demand operations and the rules governing persons on board such aircraft.  Regulations for commuter and commercial aviation are far more stringent than those for general aviation therefore specific training and standards are required.
