General Terms Applicable to All AeroShield® Plans

1. Nature of Subscription Fee

The AeroShield® monthly subscription fee is an availability retainer and engagement fee. Each monthly subscription payment is earned upon receipt, is non-refundable except as otherwise required by applicable ethical rules, and will not be deposited into the Firm’s trust account.

The subscription fee compensates the Firm for reserving availability, providing priority access, maintaining administrative and compliance infrastructure, providing legal and regulatory updates, and making the benefits of the selected plan available to the Client.

The monthly subscription fee does not constitute a refundable advance fee deposit for future legal services. Included and rollover attorney hours are benefits of membership and are not prepaid legal fees.

2. Billing and Automatic Payment

Subscription fees are billed in monthly installments and will be automatically charged on the monthly anniversary of the date the Client enrolls in the AeroShield® Program, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The Client authorizes the Firm to maintain and charge a valid payment method for this purpose. The Client is responsible for promptly updating any expired, declined, or otherwise invalid payment information.

Monthly billing is offered for the Client’s convenience and does not convert the subscription into a month-to-month arrangement or otherwise modify the Client’s commitment to the applicable subscription term.

3. Subscription Term and Rollover of Included Hours

Each AeroShield® subscription is offered for an initial term of 12 months beginning on the Client’s enrollment date (the “Term”).

Included attorney hours may roll over from month to month during the same Term. Any unused included or rollover hours remaining at the conclusion of the Term are forfeited and have no cash value. Unused hours are not refundable, transferable, or redeemable for cash.

Included and rollover hours may only be used while the Client’s subscription is active and the Client’s account is in good standing.

4. Term, Renewal, Non-Renewal, and Early Cancellation

The AeroShield® Program is offered on a twelve (12)-month subscription term (the “Term”). For the Client’s convenience, subscription fees are billed in monthly installments; however, by enrolling, the Client commits to the full Term. The discounted hourly rates and other benefits provided under the AeroShield® Program are offered in consideration of, and in reliance upon, that annual commitment.

Automatic Renewal

The subscription will automatically renew for successive twelve (12)-month terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) at the Firm’s then-current subscription fees unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then-current Term or Renewal Term. Prior to each Renewal Term, the Firm will provide the Client with advance written notice of the upcoming renewal date, applicable subscription fees, and instructions for declining renewal.

Client’s Right to Discharge the Firm

The Client may terminate legal representation at any time in accordance with the primary engagement agreement and applicable ethical rules. Nothing in these Terms limits or conditions the Client’s right to discharge the Firm.

Early Discontinuation of the Subscription

If the Client elects to discontinue participation in the AeroShield® Program before the expiration of the applicable Term or Renewal Term, the Client will remain responsible for all subscription fees earned through the effective date of termination. In addition, because the discounted hourly rates provided under the AeroShield® Program were extended in reliance upon the Client’s annual commitment, the Firm reserves the right to recalculate legal services previously performed during the applicable Term at its standard hourly rates. The Client shall be responsible only for the difference between the discounted AeroShield® rates previously charged and the Firm’s standard hourly rates applicable to those services. The Client shall not be responsible for paying subscription fees that would have become due after the effective date of termination unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Subscription fees are earned upon receipt as monthly payments are made in exchange for the Firm’s ongoing availability and the benefits provided under the AeroShield® Program. Subscription fees already earned are non-refundable, except to the extent a refund of unearned fees is required by applicable ethical rules. Included and rollover attorney hours are a benefit of membership, are not prepaid legal fees, have no cash value, and are forfeited upon termination or non-renewal of the subscription.

Termination by the Firm

The Firm reserves the right to terminate a subscription upon reasonable written notice, subject to applicable ethical obligations. If the Firm terminates the subscription before the expiration of the applicable Term, the Client’s obligation to pay future subscription fees shall cease as of the effective date of termination.

These Terms are subject to the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar and all other applicable rules of professional conduct. If any provision of these Terms conflicts with those rules, the applicable rules shall control.

5. Discounted Rates

Discounted AeroShield® hourly rates apply only to legal services performed while the Client has an active subscription and the Client’s account is in good standing.

Discounts are not retroactive and do not apply to services performed before enrollment, during a suspension of benefits, or after the subscription ends.

Legal services exceeding the included benefits of the Client’s plan will be billed at the applicable discounted AeroShield® hourly rate.

The Firm may revise its standard hourly rates and corresponding AeroShield® discounted rates. Any revised rates will apply prospectively after notice is provided to the Client.

6. Plan-Specific Benefits

Plan-specific benefits may include:

  • Quarterly legal check-ins.
  • Zoom classroom sessions.
  • Access to webinars and associated materials.
  • A 25% discount from applicable attorney hourly rates.
  • FAA Aircraft Mechanic’s Liens included with eligible Gold and Platinum plans.
  • READY5™ emergency-response access for eligible Platinum subscribers.
  • Compliance tools, legal updates, audits, and template libraries, as applicable to the selected plan.

FAA Aircraft Mechanic’s Liens included with the Gold or Platinum Plan must be filed on behalf of the enrolled subscriber and are non-transferable.

READY5™ access includes one initial attorney telephone consultation and an initial document review within 24 hours after notice is received. Legal services beyond the initial consultation and document review will be billed at the applicable discounted hourly rate. READY5™ is available only under the Platinum Plan.

The availability and timing of consultations, document reviews, filings, training sessions, and other legal services are subject to the Firm’s professional obligations, court and administrative schedules, attorney availability, conflicts of interest, and applicable ethical considerations.

7. No Guarantee of Outcome

Participation in the AeroShield® Program does not guarantee any particular legal outcome or result.

The Firm makes no representation or warranty that participation in the program will prevent regulatory action, litigation, financial loss, or any other adverse event.

8. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Service, and Attorneys’ Fees

These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Broward County, Florida, for disputes arising from or relating to the AeroShield® Program or these Terms.

To the extent permitted by applicable law and procedural rules, the parties agree to accept service by DHL or another nationally recognized courier service, including UPS, USPS Priority Mail, or FedEx, using tracking confirmation as evidence of delivery.

In any action arising from or relating to the AeroShield® Program or these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, including fees and costs incurred through any appeal, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9. Professional-Conduct Rules

These Terms are subject to the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar and any other rules of professional conduct applicable to the Firm or the attorney-client relationship.

If any provision of these Terms conflicts with an applicable rule of professional conduct or other controlling legal requirement, the applicable rule or legal requirement will control, and the conflicting provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary to comply with that requirement.

Nothing in these Terms limits the Client’s right to discharge the Firm, requires the Firm to continue a representation when withdrawal is required or permitted, or alters the Firm’s professional and ethical obligations.

10. Entire Agreement and Relationship to Engagement Agreements

These Terms govern participation in the AeroShield® Program. Individual legal matters may also be governed by a separate letter of representation, engagement agreement, advance fee deposit agreement, or other written agreement between the Client and the Firm.

If a separate written engagement agreement contains terms specific to a legal matter, that agreement will govern the legal representation addressed by that agreement. These Terms will continue to govern the Client’s AeroShield® subscription unless the Firm expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

No amendment or exception to these Terms will be effective unless confirmed in writing by the Firm.

Frequently Asked Questions & Support

Frequently Asked Questions & Support

The Federal Aviation Administration, or the “FAA” is an arm of the Department of Transportation (DOT). It controls aviation business matters, including air traffic management and the certification of personnel and aircraft. The FAA sets the standard for airport conditions and protects U.S. assets during the launch of commercial space vehicles. The FAA issues directives and legal regulations to ensure the safety of all airplanes, including mandated correction for any unsafe conditions in an aircraft. This could include an aircraft’s plane, engine, propeller, or appliance. All operators must conduct business compliantly and follow the FAA’s guidance and provisions, and any certifications must be present in the aircraft.

An FBO stands for Fixed Base Operator (FBO). FBOs operate like private terminals and facilitate private jet and charter operations. Commercial companies are given access by an airport to work on the grounds and provide flight services, fuel, parking, and hangar space. FBOs offer three tiers that provide different accommodations depending on the amount of traffic and size of the airport, including pilot lounges, restrooms and shower facilities, catering, aerial photography, parking, pilot instruction, private jet charter, and much more. Smaller and less busy airports might only offer basic amenities, while more significant, commercial airports have a full suite of extras, like waiting rooms, in-flight catering, and other conveniences.

According to the FAA’s strict aviation provisions and regulations, every aircraft must be deemed “airworthy” to fly. A Standard Airworthiness Certification is the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) official authorization regarding the operation of type-certificated aircraft, including normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, transport, manned free balloons, and special classes. All operators must have a Standard or Special Airworthiness Certification to prove the safety and condition of the aircraft. It must be publicly visible to all crew members, inspection companies, and passengers in the cockpit or cabin. Certification delays can cost pilots thousands, sometimes millions of dollars, though an aviation lawyer can provide helpful counsel to avoid mistakes and complete the process.

Sometimes mechanics are the only thing standing between the aircraft and a potential problem if an issue is overlooked or not properly taken care of. Maintenance facilities aren’t always at fault. However, suppose a plane crashes, and people are injured or killed. In that case, repair shops are often part of the legal investigation to uncover any mistakes, errors, or other issues that might have caused an accident. Malfunctioning equipment is one cause of crashes, electrical wiring issues, fitting of wrong parts, mistakes, leftover loose objects, incorrect installation of fuel or oil caps, and other similar mistakes are often looked at in a plane accident case.

A fractional jet ownership arrangement affords one or more operators to share in jet ownership through shares or equity in the aircraft. With this arrangement, operators can use the plane for a certain number of hours each year, as outlined in the contract. An interest in an aircraft defines a fractional ownership agreement; shares are sold to multiple owners based on 800 occupied hours and sold in fractions. The cost is divided among the total number of co-operators, and each person is responsible for their operational share. In such an arrangement, flying time typically ranges between 50 and 400 hours, and most jet shares will become multiple of one-sixteenth.

Hangar rash results from an airplane accident or damage to an airplane while being towed in the hangar, moved, or elements inside the hangar that cause physical harm, including falling parts, debris, and weather. Hangar keepers are responsible for any liabilities and unexpected damages to a client’s aircraft. The damage to an airplane can cost thousands to millions of dollars, which also impacts a plane’s overall resale value. Operators often utilize our services when their aircraft has been damaged in hangar storage, a hangar keeper is involved in a lawsuit due to plane damage, or owners need to protect their business from false allegations and lawsuits.

Depending on how much you fly or if you have considered turning your aviation passion into a business, there are various ways to get started outside of an aircraft purchase. Consider purpose, expenses and costs, usage, and other similar factors. Aero Law Center helps operators purchase an aircraft, consider financing options, and adhere to regulations or alternatives such as leasing or fractional ownership. With wet or dry leases, leasing is affordable and accessible with the benefit of fixed monthly payments. Buying shares or equity in an aircraft through fractional ownership is a similar and approachable option if an outright purchase isn’t in the cards.
