Public Aircraft Operations

For government agencies, states, tribes and municipalities, aircraft operations require decisions. 

• Should I and can I operate under the public aircraft statutes?
• If I do, do I contract out those operations or do them within the organization? 
• Which regulations still apply to my aircraft? 
• If I fly as a public aircraft, how do I ensure that my aircraft is airworthy and safe to fly? 
• If I use restricted category aircraft for firefighting operations, how do the changes from the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Bill impact my operation? 

At Aviation Aerospace Law PLLC, we can help you draft the contracts you need to contract out your public aircraft operation and maintain peace of mind that the operations will be performed safely.
