Completion Monitoring

Flight department employees are very skilled at operating an aircraft, but may be involved in a completion only once or twice a lifetime.  What you need is someone that does this for a career.  Having been involved in over 100 completions, from Citation to Boeing, I know what it takes to deliver you a superior product.  Here are some of the steps I take -

·         If required, assist the client with obtaining a suitable aircraft  

·         Represent the client in all technical matters as it relates to an aircraft during its completion  

·         Assist the client with choosing a facility for the work
