Scottsdale, Arizona based Pinnacle Aviation, a premier provider of private jet charters, aircraft management, sales, and maintenance services, has long been at the forefront of aviation safety. 

On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, Pinnacle Aviation reached another significant milestone in its safety journey. The company sent its Letter of Declaration of Compliance, underscoring its adherence to the highest safety standards mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  

When asked about sending the letter, Founder and President, Curt Pavlicek, said, “This milestone underscores our longstanding commitment to cultivating a culture of safety and operational excellence” 

This achievement aligns Pinnacle Aviation with the top 1% of private aviation industry leaders who have prioritized safety management systems (SMS) ahead of regulatory deadlines.
