Crew and Qualifications

Question

What are the crew requirements and qualifications?

Answer

Crew requirements vary based on the aircraft, mission complexity, route, and operating environment. We staff missions to meet legal requirements and operational best practices, while also ensuring the crew is appropriate for the conditions (weather, airfield constraints, international operations, etc.).

Some missions require additional planning focus—long legs, remote airfields, challenging terrain, or tight timelines. Sharing mission constraints early helps ensure the right staffing and risk controls are in place.

• Complex missions benefit from earlier engagement so staffing and logistics can be matched appropriately.
