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.
