why choose us?
Our team provides customized SMS support solutions for small to medium sized flight departments and have been fortunate enough to have worked with hundreds of part 91 jet operators from the very beginning of the SMS transition. That hands on experience was hard earned and incredibly valuable to our success of providing an unmatched level of support and expertise for a fraction of the cost you would expect to pay. We love what we do...and it shows.
John Davisson
I started my aviation career after college as a final function test mechanic on the DC10, from there I went to work as a CFI and eventually flew part 121 and spent 7 years as a check airman. Next stop was flying corporate for another dozen plus years. I started my company 18 years ago and despite the ups and downs of self-employment, I really love what I do and have no plans to retire until I hit 90.
Valerie Davisson
Val is the brains behind our success and makes sure I don't say or do anything too ridiculous. She also handles the admin and managerial aspects of the office. She is an educator, writer and Jeopardy smart, holds a BA and MA in Anthropology. Her only fault seems to be her perfect diction and a propensity to correct mine on a regular basis. Other than that, she is perfect.
Our SME team...
The beauty of having built a long and distinguished list of friendships over the past 40 years means we have access to SME's, Chief Pilots, DOM's, investigators, regulators and human factor experts who are available to us anytime we need them. That brainpower and experience has proven to be invaluable to our success and ensures we get it right and stay current with new innovations and changes in the aviation industry.
Modern technology and the latest video equipment gives us the ability to collect, analyze and document reportable events as they occur. That allows us to monitor operational performance and to track overall SMS effectiveness in real time, which means you have the equivalent of a full time safety officer on your wing 24/7.
We use two, state of the art workstations (Mac&PC) to document and record submissions, which are reviewed immediately to determine appropriate response requirements: corrective action plans, training, JHA, work instructions, MOC, or investigation.
Your team focuses on their primary roles and responsibilities, we ensure you're getting the very best value and benefit from a professionally managed SMS, by raising hazard awareness, improving performance and effectiveness, which increases job satisfaction, team cohesion and morale.
