Airframe AD/SB Compliance Review and Incorporation

When an aircraft moves between lessees, AD/SB status is one of the first things to come under scrutiny, and one of the hardest to sort out after the fact. We review applicability and compliance status, find the gaps, and plan incorporation across the fleet, so the records hold up at delivery, transition and return.

What We Do

• Applicability and compliance status review. Which ADs and SBs apply to each aircraft, what's been done, and whether the records prove it.
• Gap response. Where the exposure is and what it takes to close it, explained so ownership can act on it.
• Incorporation planning. Turning AD/SB requirements into a plan across the fleet, including implementation-ready work cards and method-of-compliance strategy.

When Lessors Call Us

• An aircraft is about to transition and the AD/SB picture has to stand up to the next lessee's review.
• A return is coming and you want to know what the lessee still owes before you accept the aircraft.
• Records may be incomplete and nobody is sure how far the gap goes.
• An acquisition or financing needs an independent view of compliance.
