For Each Flight
 
Ongoing Commitment
 
Sentient requires participating operators to uphold a high level of safety standards for their pilots, exceeding FAR Part 135 regulations in a host of categories, including: total time in a particular aircraft type; total flight hours as Pilot-in-Command; and, total flight hours as Pilot-in-Command of a specific aircraft type.

While each pilot meets minimum standards, what is more impressive is the actual experience level of pilots certified to fly our clients. We constantly monitor the experience of pilots who fly for our program.

As an example, the most recent data shows that the average total flying time for pilots who were captain for flights we arrange was over 9,400 hours.

"Sentient sets a strong standard for safety in private aviation by taking a rigorous approach that extends well beyond the strict FAA requirements for Part 135 operations. As chairman of Sentient’s Independent Safety Advisory Board, my goal is to continually provide proactive safety insights and recommendations that will help Sentient and the operators certified in its network take every step possible in the best interests of Sentient clients."
