Recently launched independent MRO and jet management business JMI Aviation Group has secured Part 145 status. The Citation and Falcon-focused support company impressed the UK CAA with Centrik during its approval audit. Centrik's modular functionality provided JMI with a quick and easy way to demonstrate the competence and capabilities of its operation to the regulator. Through the intuitive interface, JMI can now manage every element of its Part 145 operations in real time, via a few simple clicks, from anywhere, at any time.

JMI director Ed Griffith says: “New Part 145 approvals are often challenging, but Centrik made the whole process simple, straightforward and seamless. Everything to do with our operations can be shared with the regulator almost instantly, so it's easy for it to see the effectiveness of our policies and procedures.”

The London Oxford airport-based company is using the system's extensive range of core features, such as safety management, risk recording, compliance, training and document control. The system also handles the company's day-to-day, MRO-specific documentation requirements.

Griffith adds: “Centrik has been an integral tool as we've built our new company. It's so easy to use and it manages the entirety of our business. The system has been incredible in freeing up our time, reducing our costs and most importantly of all, making it simple for us to pass our approval audit.”

JMI is also using the Centrik system to monitor training currency and safety for its jet management arm, which provides skilled pilots for business jet owners.
