Frequently Asked Questions

AACL offers four key areas of service, all rooted in our Entebbe headquarters and built around Uganda and East African aviation:

1. Aviation Consultancy — certification, licensing, and regulatory guidance (AOC, AMO, ATO, and more)
2. Procurement, Logistics and Supplies — spare parts, UAVs, fuels, safety equipment, aerodrome materials, and manual drafting
3. Financial Accounting and Auditing — aviation-tailored finance, tax, forensic work, and strategic advisory
4. Aviation Training and Certifications — UCAA-recognised programmes through global ATO partnerships

Many projects span more than one area. If you are not sure where to start, contact us with a short description of what you are trying to achieve.

We provide expert guidance on the full range of civil aviation certifications and licensing pathways listed in our source capabilities — including:

• Air Operator Certification (AOC)
• Approved Maintenance Organisation (AMO) and Approved Training Organisation (ATO)
• Aircrew, remote pilot, and balloon pilot licensing
• Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licensing (AMEL) and ATC licensing
• State CAA legal and organisational setup, and State Safety Oversight System (SSOS) establishment
• Aircraft ownership, leasing and chartering conditions, and registration and deregistration

See our full Certifications & Licensing page for descriptions of each pathway, or reach out if you want to discuss a specific application.

Yes. Through code sharing agreements with Approved Training Organisations around the world, we facilitate and conduct aviation trainings and certifications recognised by the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA).

That means we do more than pass on a brochure for a course abroad — we look after arrangements and delivery, and we align qualifications with what UCAA expects. If your people need a specific licence or rating, tell us what it is and we will work out a recognised pathway. Read more on our Aviation Training and Certifications page.

Our head offices are at Imperial Mall, Lugard Avenue, Entebbe, Uganda — close to Entebbe International Airport, Uganda’s primary international aviation hub.

Ariguma Aviation Consultants Limited was founded in September 2021 by a group of experienced pilots, flight operations professionals, aircraft engineers, air traffic controllers and ex Airforce military personnels.

The idea was straightforward: take some of the regulatory and operational load off the people doing the actual work in aviation — whether standing up a new operation, keeping an established one in good standing, or sourcing the right part at the right time.
