Complete AOC/FTU Documentation Package
Starting a new Air Operator Certificate (AOC) under CAR 702/703/704, or a Flight Training Unit (FTU) under CAR 406 requires extensive documentation that must be approved by Transport Canada. Instead of spending countless hours researching regulations, writing manuals, and navigating the approval process yourself, let us handle it all while you focus on what matters most—running your business and generating revenue.
Our value-added service: We liaise with Transport Canada on your behalf, keeping you informed and consulting with you on any changes at every step of the way. This process happens more efficiently and faster when handled by professionals, allowing you to continue operating your business without interruption. Whether you're already operating or just starting out, you can go to work and not spend all of your downtime building manuals and dealing with Transport Canada.
