What Delta Bravo Delivers
Three focused services that move Part 135 operators forward — built around inspector-ready documentation, traceable to the regulations and your manual suite.
DCT Completion
The FAA's SAS Element-Design Data Collection Tools sit at the heart of every Certificate Holder's certification and surveillance events. Done right, they translate your operator manual suite into a clean, defensible compliance picture. Done wrong, they generate weeks of back-and-forth with your inspector.
Delta Bravo Aviation completes DCTs with chapter-and-verse citations to your manuals, scoped to the OpSpecs you actually hold and the operations you actually conduct. Every answer is traceable; every "Not Applicable" comes with a documented rationale.
In most cases, the acceptable completion of an Applicant's or Certificate Holder's DCTs takes months (or longer in some cases). Delta Bravo Aviation can complete your DCTs in as little as one day!
What's included
- ✓ Operator-scope analysis (OpSpecs, fleet, ops type)
- ✓ Element-by-element answers with manual citations (Sect. X.Y.Z)
- ✓ 14 CFR / AC / 8900.1 cross-reference traceback
- ✓ "Not Applicable" rationales drafted in operator voice
- ✓ Branded, FAA-inspector-ready PDF deliverable
- ✓ Gap callouts where manuals don't yet support an answer
Statement of Compliance
When the FAA wants more than answered DCTs — when an inspector is asking for a complete compliance demonstration — Delta Bravo Aviation prepares a Statement of Compliance (SOC) package.
An SOC is a regulation-by-regulation traceback that shows how your operation, as documented in your manual suite, meets the underlying requirements end-to-end. It's the document that turns "we comply" into "here's exactly how, paragraph by paragraph."
SOCs are particularly useful during certificate construction, major OpSpec amendments, and surveillance events where the inspector wants the whole compliance picture in one package.
Typical scope
- ✓ Regulation-by-regulation compliance traceback
- ✓ Manual suite ↔ regulation cross-mapping
- ✓ AC and 8900.1 references where applicable
- ✓ FSDO-submission-ready package
- ✓ Bundled discount when paired with a DCT engagement for the same operator
Manual Gap Suggested Edit Report
During a DCT or SOC engagement, gaps are sometimes surfaced in an operator's manual suite — places where the manuals don't yet fully support a defensible answer. Delta Bravo Aviation captures every one of those gaps in a single, consolidated Manual Gap Suggested Edit Report: each recommended amendment is drafted in operator voice, ready to be inserted directly into the relevant manual.
The report gives the Certificate Holder or Applicant one document to work from — no scattered emails, no back-and-forth, no guessing at where each fix belongs. And once the amendments are incorporated, Delta Bravo Aviation re-runs the related DCT at no additional charge, so you finish the loop with a verified, compliance-closed DCT package.
What's included
- ✓ One consolidated, single-source amendment report
- ✓ Each amendment drafted in operator voice, ready to paste in
- ✓ Covers GOM, GMM, training, hazmat, security, ERP, and other suite volumes
- ✓ Cross-volume consistency review
- ✓ Aligned to current 14 CFR / AC / 8900.1
- ✓ Complimentary DCT re-run after amendments are incorporated
For full GOM, Training Manual, or GMM rewrites and new-manual builds, Delta Bravo Aviation refers clients to its manual-development partner, Black River Aerospace.
Certificate / Operator Construction & Review
For applicants: a structured runway from pre-application meeting to certification. For existing operators: a fresh set of eyes on your scope, OpSpecs, and document trail to find the gaps before an inspector does.
We work on the cadence your timeline demands — whether that's an aggressive certification push or a quiet, ongoing readiness program.
Engagements include
- ✓ Custom and tailored
- ✓ OpSpecs scope review and amendments support
- ✓ Pre-certification readiness audit
- ✓ Conformity and configuration alignment
- ✓ Manual ↔ OpSpecs ↔ DCT triangulation
