  • Own The Jet | Ep. 4: "Without logbooks, your jet could depreciate 50%." — Lisa Stewart, CAMP Systems

    In this episode of Own the Jet, we sit down with Lisa Stewart of CAMP Systems International to explore one of the most overlooked but essential parts of private jet ownership: maintenance tracking and logbook management.


    Lisa explains how missing or mismanaged logbooks can slash an aircraft’s value by up to 50%, and why proper documentation is just as important as engines or avionics. She walks us through how CAMP helps jet owners and operators stay on top of maintenance cycles, inspections, and compliance—protecting both the value and safety of the aircraft.


    Whether you’re a first-time buyer or managing a growing fleet, this episode is packed with tactical insights to help you stay airworthy, audit-ready, and in control of your investment.
