Many flight departments turn to aviation consultants to help make these judgments. They can provide the added insight that makes buying tough purchases smooth and hassle-free. Here are some points to bear in mind when searching for the right consultant. Choose a consultant or firm who plays an independent role. He or she should not receive financial gain from a decision.
Experience is crucial.
Be sure the consultant has concrete knowledge in the area for which they are advising. Skill in the latest technology on the market ensures you receive a complete list of options. Obtain a commitment on how much time will be spent on your contract. Ask for a list of deliverables in writing. Demand tangible evidence on how the consultant is working on your behalf including an action item list, results, responsible parties and due dates.
