What does an aircraft manager do?

An Aircraft Manager is responsible for overseeing the operation, maintenance, and scheduling of one or more aircraft. This role involves managing the crew, ensuring regulatory compliance, coordinating maintenance and inspections, and handling logistics such as flight planning and budgeting. Aircraft Managers also serve as the main point of contact between aircraft owners, operators, and regulatory bodies, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft at all times.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as an aircraft manager?

To thrive as an Aircraft Manager, you need expertise in aviation operations, maintenance oversight, regulatory compliance, and typically a degree in aviation management or a related field. Familiarity with aviation management software, maintenance tracking systems, and FAA regulations is essential, and certifications such as an FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license are highly valued. Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving abilities help coordinate teams and ensure operational efficiency. These skills and qualifications are crucial for maintaining safety, regulatory compliance, and optimal performance of aircraft operations.

How does an aircraft manager coordinate with maintenance and flight operations teams to ensure aircraft readiness?

An Aircraft Manager plays a central role in coordinating between maintenance crews and flight operations to guarantee that aircraft are always airworthy and available when needed. This involves scheduling regular maintenance checks, promptly addressing any technical issues reported by pilots or crew, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Regular communication with both teams is vital to balance operational demands with necessary downtime for repairs or inspections. By proactively managing these relationships and schedules, the Aircraft Manager helps minimize delays and maintain high safety standards.

  • Ensure on‑the‑job training is documented and forwarded to the Training Department
  • Maintain clean and orderly work and shop areas
  • Ensure parts are handled properly during and after maintenance
  • Confirm completion of customer requirements for customer‑supplied parts
  • Ensure all required tags and forms are attached and completed correctly
  • Delegate duties only to qualified personnel

  • Minimum of four years of aircraft fuel system maintenance experience
  • Must meet the qualification requirements of Tank Tigers Repair Station Manual Section 4.6.9
  • Must meet supervisory qualification requirements under 14 CFR Part 145.153
  • Strong knowledge of aircraft fuel tank maintenance methods and procedures
  • Familiarity with the tools, equipment, aids and techniques used in aircraft fuel system maintenance
  • Ability to read and follow approved technical data
  • Experience supervising maintenance personnel
  • Ability to train and support technicians with varying levels of fuel system experience
  • Strong understanding of aircraft maintenance documentation requirements
  • Ability to ensure proper completion of maintenance records, tags and forms
  • Ability to work a flexible schedule
  • Ability to enter and work safely in confined spaces
  • Ability to fit into small aircraft fuel tank areas
Preferred Qualifications
  • Previous experience teaching or training aircraft maintenance technicians
