9 Tips When You Have a New Reporting Executive
Change is the only constant. This holds true in all areas of our lives. As an aviation leader, you will experience many changes: team changes, aircraft changes, regulatory changes, and company changes just to name a few. But a change in the executive responsible for aviation, or Reporting Executive, can have a significant impact on you and your team.
Aging Aircraft Considerations
When aircraft age becomes a consideration for you, there are several aircraft-specific factors that influence a sound replacement strategy.
Flight Attendant Usage
The application and use of Flight Attendants (FAs) or Cabin Safety Attendants (CSAs) is commonly debated in business aviation. VanAllen ‘s recent LinkedIn poll results highlighted the range of policies associated with flight attendant usage.
Aircraft Delivery Delays
VanAllen’s most recent poll showed that over 80% of respondents experienced a delay in their most recent new aircraft delivery. Many of those were in flux right up until the final delivery time. So while you may have negotiated the aircraft deal that made financial sense, did you properly consider the risks associated with delivery timing? Most new aircraft purchase agreements include excusable and non-excusable delay provisions that afford the manufacturer a large delivery window without penalty. Delays can create significant costs and frustrations to the buyer.
Pilot Staffing
In this VanAllen Insights article, CEO Jeff Agur outlines considerations for pilot staffing and the impact it has on aircraft availability and quality of work life. We polled our LinkedIn followers on how their departments are staffed, per aircraft and we share those results as well.

Projects Completed
I’ve consulted with VanAllen a few times over the years regarding our flight department and their staff has helped us navigate some of the common pitfalls of business aviation. Managing a corporate flight department is more than just flying from A to B, and their combined experience enables them to efficiently fine tune a department into the best it can be. Whether it’s talent acquisition, ISBAO, or finding which aircraft suits the mission best (to name a few), I would recommend them. They are super smart, yet able to keep it simple, which is good for a Georgia boy like me. Their subject matter expertise is unparalleled within the industry.”
