BETHESDA, MD, - JDA Aviation Technology Solutions (JDA) today announced that US Aviation, a Denton, TX flight training, aircraft maintenance, avionics installation and aircraft sales operator, has contracted with JDA for 135Pro™ 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 to facilitate the certificate 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.

"All of our lines of business and especially our flight training school are growing. We also are adding a new FBO along with our Part 135 Air Taxi service. With our growth and need to support our current services, we needed an experienced organization that could come in and help us obtain our Part 135 certificate with the least amount of impact to our staff and operation. JDA's experience and background made it an easy decision" said Jeff Soules, Senior Vice President and General Manager for US Aviation.

"On the surface it may seem fairly easy for a general aviation organization to obtain a Part 135 certificate. However, the 135 certificate process very often results in challenges and delays that a busy and growing operator like US Aviation cannot address due to limited resources. JDA's team of former career FAA managers and principal inspectors know the 135 Certificate processes and requirements. In the end that means the operator gets their 135 Certificate sooner, at a much lower cost than doing it themselves and without the frustration we often see from operators." said Tom Stuckey, JDA Vice President of Business and Commercial Aviation Solutions and manager of the 135Pro™ program.
