So the question remains: What do we do to mitigate these risks? Our staff is top-performing, strategically chosen, and high ranking individuals with over 10,000 hours of in-air experience. To guarantee top performance, our staff must meet above-industry standards. With the preliminary requirements of a 135 air care certificate; certifying the right to provide commercial air carriage, a federal background check, a 10,000-hour minimum time experience requirement with a turboprop or turbo aircraft, and the passing of all precautionary testing such as a drug test, LIVT can safeguard members. Furthermore, LIVT continually puts its staff to the test to verify that we consistently operate above standards. Once a pilot is hired, they must undergo multiple training modules, to make certain that they are fit for flight. The pilots must complete modules include but are not limited to: in-dock ground training, base training, aircraft/flight training and check ride with the FA. They must also complete a semi-annual proficiency training, pop-up quality control checks, policy and regulation checks, maintenance checks, and judgment/mental wellness evaluations. With over 9,000 hours of air travel, LIVT is proud to announce that we’ve upheld a faultless reputation with zero near-incidental occurrences. To add, LIVT implements a 300-hour maintenance check and flight check to certify that it is fit for flight. These tests verify that every part is suitable for travel even in the toughest of conditions.
