Ownership,
Handled.
Owning an aircraft is a serious commitment. Operating one shouldn't have to be.
WCAS exists to carry that commitment for you. One team at John Wayne Airport hires and trains the crew, coordinates maintenance through our own Part 145 facility at Long Beach, dispatches every trip, and keeps the aircraft compliant, insured, and ready.
Owners come to us for three reasons: to take the operational burden off their desk, to protect the long-term value of the asset, and — when it fits — to generate charter revenue against their hours. Every dollar in and out is reported monthly, in plain language.
Pacific Standard 91
A tailored Part 91 program for owners who fly their own aircraft. We hire and train the crew, coordinate maintenance through our Part 145 facility, dispatch every trip, and reconcile every invoice — without the charter overlay.

Owners Ask
Under Pacific Standard 135, your aircraft is added to one of our two FAA Part 135 air carrier certificates. When you are not flying, we deploy it on charter trips from a customer base we have built since 1987. You receive an itemized statement each month showing charter revenue, direct costs, and the net offset against your fixed cost of ownership. Personal use always takes priority.
Yes. Many owners come to us with pilots they trust. We onboard your crew into our training, medical, and drug-testing programs, manage their payroll and scheduling, and keep them current — or hire and train a new crew to your standards if you prefer.
A fixed monthly management fee, plus operating costs passed through at cost — fuel, crew, maintenance, insurance, hangar. No markups buried in the statement. Your proposal itemizes both before you commit.
Most managed aircraft are hangared at John Wayne (SNA) or Long Beach (LGB), alongside our maintenance facility. If your mission calls for another home base, we can operate the aircraft where it lives.
A dedicated account manager backed by our 24/7 dispatch desk. One phone number, answered every day of the year — trip planning, catering, ground transport, and FBO coordination handled in a single call.
Part 91 programs can begin within days. Certificate conformity for Part 135 placement typically runs 30–60 days, depending on aircraft records and configuration. We manage the entire process.
