Regulatory & operator support
UK approvals. International reach.
Our engineering work extends well beyond the UK. We support customers across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America, with experience serving operators and projects as far afield as Japan and Saudi Arabia.
UK CAA-approved organisation
BCAR A8-23 maintenance and A8-25 continuing airworthiness approval, reference AI/9940/12. Work is performed within the applicable approved scope.
US & international operators
Technical and engineering support for FAA-regulated aircraft and US-based customers, with certification and return-to-service arrangements agreed for the individual project.
Light aircraft owners
Engineering assistance for aircraft operating under Light Aircraft Association arrangements, subject to the applicable LAA processes, aircraft approval and sign-off requirements.
Continuing airworthiness
Keeping aircraft airworthy.
Our A8-25 continuing airworthiness capability includes listed historic and specialist aircraft such as the L-29 Delfín, Vampire, Meteor, English Electric Canberra, Douglas DC-3/DC-6 and Consolidated PBY Catalina, together with other types defined in the approved schedule.
We support continuing airworthiness management, maintenance planning, technical records and airworthiness review activity within our approved privileges.
