Expert witness testimony

The evaluation of a pilot’s actions relating to aircraft mishaps are often critical in legal proceedings.  The capacity to address those actions in the context of Pilot-in-Command or Flight Crew-member duties, is both complex and esoteric to the circumstances.  It is only through a varied, and extensive operational background, that a true assessment of Pilot or Flight Department performance can be made.

aviation accident analysis

A thorough analysis of all the factors, key elements and circumstances which contributed to the cause of an aviation mishap or incident.

Pilot performance

The analysis of a pilot’s actions or inactions as they pertain to aircraft operations, manufacturer procedures, and Federal Aviation Regulations or other specific doctrinal protocols.

Aviation Safety program development and auditing

A methodical evaluation of Flight Department aviation safety practices, safety systems, and operational protocols matrixed against a proactive and responsive safety management system.

Flight Department Leadership & Safety Culture Review

A practical and operational assessment of your Flight Departments Leadership, and Operational Safety Culture. This assessment is predicated upon an analysis of the “effective” Safety Culture of the organization not the “paper culture.” How to "lead" the flight department versus how to "manage" it.
