Compliance Disciplines We Cover
From software assurance to environmental qualification, our team brings hands-on DER and program experience to every finding.
Built by Engineers Who Sign the Findings.
We are a certification-first firm. Every consultant and every candidate we place is measured against one question: does this hold up to FAA and international scrutiny? That standard is why manufacturers, operators, and emerging aircraft programs bring us in early — and why our staffing placements integrate into certification programs without a learning curve.
- Direct FAA DER authority paired with deep program-level engineering experience
- Experience spanning legacy transport aircraft through eVTOL and supersonic programs
- A single point of contact from certification planning to final compliance
Scope & Certification Planning
We help define the certification basis, means of compliance, and program schedule before engineering work begins.
Engineering & Compliance Execution
Our consultants and placed engineers execute analysis, test, and documentation against the agreed compliance plan.
DER Review & FAA Coordination
Findings are reviewed and issued with direct coordination through the FAA to keep your program moving.
