About Assent Aeronautics & Straight and Level.

Assent’s roots date back to managing our family flight department in the 1940s. After 70 years of family aircraft ownership and numerous requests from companies and individuals to manage their aircraft, Assent was founded in 2004. Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of owners and operators maximize dispatch reliability and safety while saving money through more efficient expense forecasting and expert technical supervision. Straight and Level has become one of the most talked-about aviation TV shows in recent years and with over 2 million views per episode has grown to become a household name. 

If you would like to be featured in Straight and Level or have questions, please send all inquiries to Ricky Gioconda, Vice President of Advertising & Business Development at ricky@assentaero.com.
