The Value of Independent Aviation Advisory
When making significant decisions about your aircraft—acquisitions, maintenance, vendor selection—having objective, expert guidance helps you navigate these choices with confidence.
Independent aviation advisory works alongside your existing operation, providing expertise for major decisions without replacing any operational functions. You maintain your management company, vendors, and service relationships while gaining an objective advisor focused solely on your interests as the owner.
How We Work With You
We don't replace aircraft management companies, handle operations, or perform maintenance. We provide independent expertise when you need it most—during important decisions about your aircraft and vendors.
Your operation continues: Management companies handle day-to-day operations, maintenance facilities perform work, brokers provide services, pilots fly the aircraft.
We add value as your advisor: Evaluating who you should work with, verifying maintenance proposals, guiding approvals, providing independent perspective on vendor recommendations.
Aircraft Acquisition: Broker Evaluation
Different brokers have different capabilities. Some specialize in turboprops, others in light jets, still others in specific makes and models.
We help you evaluate:
- Which brokers have the right capabilities and experience for your target aircraft
- Who you should be working with based on their market access and expertise
- Whether the brokers you're considering are the right fit for your acquisition
- How presented options match your mission requirements
You maintain broker relationships and make final decisions. We provide evaluation expertise to help you determine who you should be working with.
Maintenance Governance: Three Core Areas
Maintenance governance centers on verification, approvals, and planning.
Verification
Before work begins, we verify proposed maintenance is necessary, appropriately scoped, and aligned with your aircraft's condition and operational requirements. Independent verification ensures you understand what's truly needed.
Approvals
We review maintenance proposals on your behalf, providing clear guidance on what should be approved, what can be deferred, and what requires further evaluation. You make approval decisions backed by expert review.
Planning
We help you plan maintenance events strategically—understanding what's coming, when to schedule work, and how to approach major maintenance in a way that aligns with your operational needs and timeline.
Your maintenance facility or management company performs the work. We provide verification, approval guidance, and planning support that helps you manage maintenance decisions effectively.
