About

An aircraft acquisition consultant manages the entire process of purchasing an aircraft on your behalf — from market analysis and sourcing to pre-purchase inspections, import compliance, CASA registration, and delivery. At Skycraft Aviation Solutions, we handle every technical and regulatory step so you can focus on your investment with confidence.

Registering an aircraft with CASA involves submitting airworthiness documentation, obtaining an Airworthiness Review Certificate (ARC), and ensuring your maintenance program meets CASR requirements. Skycraft guides clients through every step of the CASA registration process, minimising delays and ensuring full compliance from day one.

CASR Part 145 is the Australian regulatory standard for approved aircraft maintenance organisations (AMOs). If you operate a business jet or complex aircraft, your maintenance provider must hold the appropriate Part 145 approval. Skycraft helps clients identify these requirements during the acquisition phase — before the aircraft arrives — so there are no costly surprises.

Yes. Importing an aircraft into Australia involves navigating customs, biosecurity requirements, airworthiness validation, and CASA registration. We manage the full import process, including coordinating pre-import inspections and ensuring your aircraft meets all local regulatory standards upon arrival.

Acquisition costs vary significantly depending on aircraft type, age, and condition. Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for pre-purchase inspection fees, import duties, CASA registration, and initial maintenance program setup. Skycraft provides transparent, itemised cost guidance from the outset so you can make an informed decision.

Compliance refers to ensuring your aircraft meets all applicable regulatory requirements — including CASA, EASA, or FAA standards — across its documentation, certification, and operational approvals. Maintenance is the physical upkeep of the aircraft. Skycraft provides both services in an integrated approach, ensuring your aircraft is always airworthy and legally operable.

We support a wide range of aircraft including light jets, midsize and long-range business jets, light super jets, light helicopters, and mid-heavy helicopters. Our clients include private owners, corporate flight departments, and operators across aerial work, EMS, and fire sectors throughout Australia.

Establishing an AMO under CAR30 or CASR Part 145 requires detailed documentation, facility assessments, and CASA approval. Kevin Mowad has specialist expertise in guiding clients through the AMO setup process, helping you meet regulatory requirements efficiently and cost-effectively.
