Planehook Aviation Services, LLC

Texas Licensed Security Consultant # DD01756 Planehook's president licensed by State of Texas to provide aviation security consulting. When was the last time you hired someone to do electrical wiring for you who wasn't a licensed electrician?  And what about plumbers, would you accept someone working on your pipes who wasn't a licensed plumber?  Some might.  But then when your terminal floods or your hangar burns down, you have very little recourse other than the courts.  So in order to protect the public good, states require certain types of businesses to be licensed.  This is a form of quality control and consumer protection. So when it comes to having a professional perform a risk assessment at your airport...or develop a security program...or just tell you the good-the bad-and the ugly about security at your airport or your flight department, are you willing to get advice from anyone claiming to be a security expert?  How do you know that they have met the state-required experience and certifications?  How do you know that they are insured--protecting you from harm caused by their errors and ommissions?  That's why state licensing is so important. Planehook's president is a Texas State licensed security consultant (License# DD01756).  That's our proof that we measure up to the high standards of the Private Security Bureau of the Texas Department of Public Safety.  It underscores Planehook's commitment to our general aviation community to providing the most professional aviation security consulting services in the world.  We're here to serve general aviation, not be served by it. Let us help you protect your freedom to fly!
