BETHESDA, MD, - JDA Aviation Technology Solutions (JDA) today announced that Paradigm Helicopters, a Houston, TX based Helicopter Flight and Tour operator, has contracted with JDA for 135 ProTM certification support.

135Pro™ is a low-cost Part 135 certification support program designed to simplify the process and lower costs associated with obtaining a Part 135 Certificate.

The 135Pro™ certification support program includes manuals specifically tailored to help charter applicants satisfy FAA requirements, as well as coaching, mentoring and training assistance to facilitate the certification process. A customized web-based application and document manager enables the owner/operator to store and access all Part 135 requirements and obtain full-time support from the JDA expert 135 team.

"Our business is growing, services are expanding and we are adding a new helicopter to support our operation. After trying to obtain a 135 certificate on our own we decided we needed experts that could take us through the 135 certificate process with the least amount of impact to our company. JDA has extensive FAA experience and will be a tremendous asset for Paradigm that will pay immediate dividends," said Todd Degidio, Director of Operations for Paradigm Helicopters.

"We understand the importance that obtaining a 135 certificate means to an operator like Paradigm Helicopters. It is especially challenging to small operators to take on the task of meeting all the 135 certificate requirements with a limited staff that is running daily operations. 135Pro™, focuses on mentoring and training company personnel as well as coordinating with the FAA, minimizing the frustration and challenges operators like Paradigm face in getting certified.," said Tom Stuckey, JDA Vice President of Business and Commercial Aviation Solutions and manager of the 135Pro™ program.
