 Selling Corporate Aviation!!! February 25, 2006

I read the first half of the book and during the entire course of the book, all the author does is "See Corporate Aviation". I would not recommend this book to anyone seriously wanting to get insights into the working and economics of corporate aviation. I guess the author wrote the book to popularise corporate aviaiton.

There are a very few books covering the Corporate Aviation Management topic.I had been waiting for some corporate aviation material for a while, because the existent texts were not updated with the new facts and changes of the business aviation since the 9/11 events.
I think the author has done a great and serious job putting this information all together.I purchased the book with very high expectations and I must say that I was not disappointed. The contents are well organized and elaborated.
The book is written from a realistic perspective with many references to official sources (FAA, NBAA, etc) and other text books.Although not in deep detail, the book covers all the aspects of a corporate flight department, from planning to operation to maintenance to legal issues, making it, I believe, an excellent guide for starters or experienced professionals.
I like the book format except for its size and fonts.For this type of book I'd prefer a "letter" size with bigger fonts.
For each important matter there are side bars inserted with checklists, which I think are great.
As the author states, this book is a reference guide and should be considered supplementary reading because not all the basics are covered.
Excellent Reference September 8, 2005
This book was the best reference I had while preparing for the NBAA Certified Aviation Manager's exam in 2004.
It is also a very useful read for the business executive who must deal with an aviation department but has little experience in that particular field.
 Outstanding Resource September 2, 2005

I had recently moved into the position of Aviation Manager/Chief Pilot of a mid-size, midwestern corporate flight department when I purchased this book. I was looking for a one stop shop to cover the basics of corporate aviation and a resource for studying for the NBAA's Certified Aviation Manager (CAM) Exam.
Though I had a solid foundation as a corporate pilot for 15 years, I was very impressed at the content of this book. This book covered very well the administration and operations side of a flight department as well as the technical and facilities side. Also included were great chapters on personnel and leadership components of managing a flight department. Though I did study other sources as well, I credit Business and Corporate Aviation and Management by John J. Sheehan as the primary reason I passed the CAM exam on the first try.
This book brings many resources together. As I went through this book, I developed a checklist of things I needed to get working on in my department.
Business and Corporate Aviation and Management was surprisingly easy and enjoyable reading, though a little larger print would have been appreciated.
All in all, this is an outstanding resource for anyone in corporate or business aviation including charter. And if you aspire to manage a flight department or take the CAM Exam, it's a must read and a must keep on your shelf.
 Selling It Now June 11, 2005

I am in management for a major airline, among the most profitable in the world and consistently rated the best. Opened this book, browsed through and decided to sell it. It certainly covers a lot of ground in terms of opening your eyes to managing in aviation, but alas, only for non-aviation experienced personnel. There is mostly only mentions of what is there to run but nothing on how to run something. A long list of LISTS practically on what you need to run and then nothing that puts them together. Readability is not too pretty either. Dry style and lack of visuals will surely make this look like your college engineering textbooks, the ones you dreaded reading.
