Redefining how organisations make strategic decisions
Governance
Governance is the structural framework of accountability, risk oversight, and decision-making. It should strengthen resilience while continuing to deliver safe, commercially sustainable operations.
We show you how to rethink your processes, replacing a restrictive system with a permissive ‘build mindest’, and governance arrangements that improve both operational performance and long-term competitive advantage.
Instead of checklists and theory, you get practical, personalised advice and defensible strategies that give you clarity and build lasting capability.
Support we provide:
- Strategic planning & operational readiness
- Corporate reviews
- Efficiency assessments
- Operational resilience
Risk
For leaders responsible for strategy, operations, infrastructure or technology, understanding tomorrow’s risk landscape has become a commercial imperative.
Aviation has entered a new era of interconnected risk. Geopolitical instability, cyber threats, supply chain disruption, market volatility and operational resilience. Most risk frameworks weren’t built for that.
Our consultants bring contemporary thinking to demystify and recalibrate how you approach risk. We show you how to dentify, measure, and mitigate organisational risk through structured methodologies.
Risk methodologies we can review or provide:
- Aviation risk management
- Change management consultancy
- Enterprise risk & market volatility assessments
- Gap analysis
- Business continuity planning
Compliance
Regulatory compliance is intended to shape behaviours, because every layer of regulation is a codified lesson in what happens when governance fails.
Compliance should not be a constraint. Nor should it be overwhelming. But, we know businesses often see it as such; an overhead that hampers operations and consumes resources.
Areas of focus:
- Compliance culture
- Audits and audit preparation
- Regulatory affairs and interpretations
- Key personnel training
- Quality management systems
Regulation development
Regulation is important, but too much or poorly designed regulation impedes innovation, makes aviation operations more expensive and constraints capability.
We support Civil and Military Airworthiness Authorities to rewrite contemporary regulation, fit for industry.
General aviation consultancy
We can provide consultancy and advisory in support of organisations aligned with or supporting the aviation sector, who may not have indigenous aviation knowledge (eg data and security providers, catering companies, financiers).
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Policy & Systems
Everything together as an integrated and intuitive system
Company expositions
Elements of an exposition that we develop and review:
- Operations manuals
- Dangerous goods (DG) manuals
- Emergency response plans (ERP)
- Quality management systems (QMS)
- Internal procedures | processes
- Audit plans
Safety management
Safety has become a commercial advantage.
In today’s aviation environment, operational resilience is under constant pressure: workforce shortages, rising costs, supply chain disruption, new technology, increasing public scrutiny.
The organisations that will thrive won’t simply be those that meet safety obligations. They’ll be the ones that use safety to build trust, strengthen performance and create a competitive advantage.
We will challenge your thinking around safety.
Safety systems we develop and review:
- Safety Management Systems (SMS)
- Aviation risk management (AVRM)
- Fatigue risk management systems (FRMS)
- Drug and alcohol management plans (DAMP)
- Key personnel training
- Human factors micro-credentialing
Training systems
Training we develop and deliver:
- Safety management systems
- Aviation risk management
- Use of AI in aviation
- Human Factors (HF) and non-technical skills (NTS)
- Multi-crew cooperation (MCC)
- Low visibility
- Key personnel
Operational approvals
Types of approvals we can secure for you:
- Low visibility operational approval
- Navigational approvals
- Generalist approvals under Part 91
- Synthetic training device qualification
- ETOPS
Business continuity plans
What we do:
Safer, more efficient operations through innovative tech
Digital transformation
Integration with legacy infrastructure that was not designed for digital overlay; regulatory approval processes that move more slowly than technology procurement cycles; public accountability obligations that constrain deployment options; and change management in operationally constrained environments where failure has immediate safety and commercial consequences.
We provide support with:
- Integration of compliance and management software
- Electronic flight bags
- Digital documents
- Technology support, purpose-built tools | custom solutions
- Process automation
Innovation
Emerging technologies are reshaping aviation through: robotics; artificial intelligence; the internet of things; and advanced air mobility. The technology case for these investments is broadly established.
Successful innovation is rarely a product of a blank sheet. It’s the adaptation of existing technologies, tools and processes, to new and evolving problems and opportunities.
We are at the forefront of technology adoption and work with you on innovative solutions that bring people, process, tools and technology together in a single integrated solution.
The tech and innovation we can assist with:
- AI adoption
- Advanced propulsion and avionics
- Technical feasibility
- Sustainability innovations
- Safety case development | V&V
Proof of concept
Our PoC service aims to help define, understand and implement new solutions. It’s the step before minimum viable product. A PoC can be hugely useful and a very important approach in helping implement the right solution in the right way. The idea of fail fast and learn is important in technology and there are areas where we can increase pace and quality while decreasing risk.
Automation & Technology
Infrastructure
Facilitating global connectivity
Planning & expansion
Success in aviation requires a nexus between flight operations and the supporting infrastructure.
Our consultants work closely with airport owners and the aviation industry to establish that nexus, by expanding operational capacity and capability.
We can assist with:
- Aerodrome master plans
- Capacity assessments
- Applications for exemptions
- Inspection services
Aviation safeguarding
Poor land-use planning around airports, heliports and vertiports can lead to a range of issues and risks, specifically regarding hazards to aircraft, operational restrictions, and worse (eg protracted litigation).
Aviation safeguarding assesses the potential impacts of proposed infrastructure development projects on the airspace surrounding aviation infrastructure and airspace, to ensure that aviation operations will not be adversely impacted.
Working closely with clients, regulators, and local | state governments, we provide comprehensive assessments of the potential impacts, and offer solutions to mitigate these impacts.
Assessments we can provide:
- Windfarm assessments
- Vertical plume assessments
- Building developments | public works
- Aircraft noise nuisance
- Windshear and turbulence
- Wildlife hazards
Infrastructure compliance
Airports are (and vertiports will be) complex businesses, with a wide range of specifications and laws governing all aspects of their lifecycle.
With a broad range of experience pertaining to regulatory compliance and industry standards, our experts are well versed in providing impartial and in-depth assessments that ensure legal certainty and improved customer | client experience.
Areas of focus:
- Compliance culture
- Audits and audit preparation
- Regulatory affairs and interpretations
- Key personnel training (ARO and WSO)
- Quality management systems
