  • An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote.

Company

About Elite Rotorcraft

Elite Rotorcraft is a helicopter company based at Lebanon Airport, east of Nashville, Tennessee. It flies an Airbus AS355 F2 TwinStar, a twin engine light helicopter that seats up to five passengers in forward facing seats, with a custom leather interior and air conditioning. The company says the TwinStar offers reduced vibration, improved soundproofing and good visibility, and suits VIP transport, aerial filming and surveys.

Its charter service covers the Midwest and the Southeast. From Nashville, the TwinStar can reach cities such as Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Louisville and Birmingham directly, landing closer to the destination than an airport would allow.

The company's other main line is aerial production. It says it has more than 30 years of production support across air, land and sea, and its website displays posters from film and television productions including Twisters, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Divergent and The Bear. It says its owner is an aerial film pilot, a SAG stunt pilot and a member of the Motion Picture Pilots Association.

The company also offers a nationwide production service in which cameras and crew are trailered to the client's location, and it lists utility flying and camera boat work among its services.
