Expertise

We bring depth and breadth of experience to your most complex challenges. Where our Services describe how we work, this is where we work — the specific aviation and transportation domains in which our team holds operational and regulatory credentials.

Safety Oversight & Regulatory Compliance

Aircraft Accident Investigation & Safety Oversight

We help States and civil aviation authorities establish independent accident investigation offices, prepare for FAA IASA assessment, develop and close corrective action plans, and build durable investigative capability — including surge support when an investigation is underway.

International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA)

Through technical assistance, our experts help States meet ICAO standards under Annexes 1, 6, and 8 and sustain an effective safety oversight function. We do more than help a State achieve a higher oversight rating — we transfer knowledge and expertise from our team to yours so the gains hold, and we help authorities build well-prepared communication with FAA teams.

Foreign Air Carrier Authority

We draw on longstanding relationships across governments and industry to open market access and secure the U.S. government certificates and approvals carriers need to operate.

  • FAA Operational Safety Authority — advising carriers on obtaining FAA Part 129 operations specifications.
  • TSA Last Point of Departure — helping States meet TSA last-point-of-departure security requirements and obtain the certification and clearance needed to begin U.S. service.
  • DOT Economic Authority — advising carriers seeking to provide commercial air service to and from the United States.

Safety Management Systems (SMS)

We take a systems-safety approach to evaluating and mitigating risk through robust safety policy, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion. We turn safety data into insight, making proactive use of voluntarily reported data and fatigue risk management programs.

Airspace Modernization & Operations

Airspace Modernization: BNATCS & Performance Based Navigation

Aertron supports the modernization of the National Airspace System, including work under the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) program and Performance Based Navigation initiatives, as part of the industry team delivering it.

Our former FAA-certified controllers, pilots, and systems engineers help define operational requirements, assess human factors and safety risk as new automation is introduced, and support the transition to PBN routes and procedures that deliver more direct routings, greater airspace capacity, and improved efficiency. We bring the same rigor to modernization that we bring to safety oversight: decisions documented, assumptions stated, and evidence that holds up under federal review.

Air Traffic Management

Former FAA-certified controllers and pilots supporting programs that deliver safety, efficiency, capacity, and predictability. We define operational requirements and work with labor, management, and industry to reach consensus-driven solutions.

Airport Planning & Development

We advise clients on airport safety and security and on managing growth — through data collection, technology deployment, and safer, more efficient business operations.

Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO)

We assist and represent aircraft maintenance facilities and parts manufacturers in obtaining FAA certificate approvals, and advise on offshore growth strategy and new market access.

Emerging Technology & Workforce Capability

Integration of Emerging Transportation Technologies

Unmanned Aircraft Systems · Urban and Advanced Air Mobility · Autonomous driving · Commercial space transportation

We support the safe integration of emerging transportation and automation technologies through requirements development, hazard analysis, and human factors solutions — accelerating implementation through technical expertise, policy work, and clear communication with regulators.

Technical Training & E-Learning

Our data scientists and engineers build training that uses AR and VR and game-based methods to make instruction effective, engaging, and accessible from anywhere — reducing risk and increasing productivity.
