Frequently Asked Questions

International Trip Support Flight Planning

Which documents are required for flight planning services?

For aviation routes within the USA, we typically require several documents to ensure a smooth process. Firstly, we’ll ask for the scheduled departure date and time, along with the number of crew and passengers, including their basic information. For the crew, we’ll need copies of their passport, pilot’s license, and medical certificate. Passengers are required to provide passport copies and their USA home address.

Additionally, we’ll request aircraft documents if they’re not already saved in our database. These include the Certificate of Registration, Certificate of Airworthiness, Aircraft Insurance, and Noise Certificate. Gathering these documents helps us ensure compliance and readiness for the planned trip.

When do I get my trip sheet?

You will receive your trip sheet once we have entered the schedule into our scheduling system. This allows us to generate a trip sheet and test plans, which will be sent to the crew for their review. If the crew has any preferred aircraft figures for their actual flight, such as speed, flight level, and fuel load, they can provide this information at that time.

The final step involves waiting for confirmation of the requested services. Once everything is confirmed, we will send an updated trip sheet to the crew to ensure they have the most accurate and up-to-date information for their journey.

What if I need to change the route or load specifications?

Our normal process includes sending a pre-flight briefing package 24 hours before departure. This package allows the crew to review the routings, fuel, and weather. If any adjustments to the route or fuel load are desired, our Icarus Jet flight support agents promptly update the route plan and provide the revised information to the crew.

How do I benefit from Icarus Jet’s flight planning services?

Certainly! Here are the key benefits of Icarus Jet’s trip support for pilots:

  1. Optimized fuel expenditure saves costs and enhances efficiency.
  2. Optimized airborne time maximizes productivity and minimizes journey duration.
  3. Integration of Runway Analysis into the Operational Flight Plan enhances safety and performance.
  4. Convenient airway plan upload through FMS saves valuable time for the crew, eliminating manual entry hassles.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

We do a lot of business over in Europe for the summer. It was great to have a U.S. Staff present during off-European hours to communicate with. The staff communicates clearly, concisely, and includes multiple team members so that there’s redundancy at all times. I couldn’t more highly recommend these guys.
