Independent pre-purchase inspections, maintenance audits and global sourcing of hard-to-find spares for aircraft operators, lessors and buyers, from an engineer who has run maintenance in military and civil aviation since 1984.
Each engagement ends with something clear you can act on, whether you are buying an aircraft, preparing for an audit or tracking down a part to get an aircraft flying again.
Physical inspection and records review before you commit to a purchase or lease, so hidden defects and missing paperwork show up before the money moves.
Independent audits of maintenance organisations and facilities against FAA, EASA or UAEMAR requirements, ahead of an authority visit or a contract award.
Hard-to-find parts for legacy and utility types such as the Twin Otter, Islander, Skyvan and PT6A or TPE331 engines, with traceability and release paperwork checked before anything ships.
Guidance on airworthiness directives, service bulletins, quality systems and continuing airworthiness management.
