Repair stations,
certified.
Fifty years in aviation maintenance. Three decades certifying repair stations under FAA, EASA, and ICAO frameworks — across the United States, Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela. Your application, your manuals, your audit. Done right the first time.
A failed Part 145 audit costs months and millions. Most of those failures are preventable.
Where applications stall
Inadequate manuals. Capability lists that don't match scope. Roles unfilled or wrongly assigned. Quality systems on paper but not in practice. Procedures the staff hasn't actually been trained on. Auditors notice — fast.
Where I come in
I've sat on both sides of the audit table — as the consultant building the application and as the Accountable Manager defending it. I know which findings auditors raise first, and how to write your manuals so they don't.
What I do for repair stations.
FAA Part 145 Certification
Initial repair station certificate, ratings, and capability list build-out. Form 8310-3 and supplements, FSDO submission, and engagement through certificate issuance.
EASA Part 145 Approval
Initial approval and scope expansion. EASA Form 4 management personnel, Form 2 application, MOE preparation, and competent-authority engagement through certification.
Foreign Repair Station Approvals
Bilateral certification under FAA-EASA MAG procedures. Dual approvals built right the first time — one set of procedures that satisfies both regulators.
Manual Development
Repair Station Manual, Quality Control Manual, MOE, and supporting procedures. Written to your operation, not pulled from a template.
Pre-Audit Preparation
Mock audits with full findings reports. Gap closure plans. Personnel readiness — because your staff will be interviewed, and what they say matters.
Accountable Manager Coaching
For new Accountable Managers and Form 4 holders. The role's accountability is real and personal. I'll prepare you for what auditors actually ask.
Five decades of certifications, ratings, and regulatory experience.
How a certification engagement runs.
Discovery & gap assessment
Two to three weeks. We map your current state against the regulator's expectations and produce a written gap report — what exists, what's missing, what needs rewriting. You'll know the scope before you commit.
Manuals & procedures
Repair Station Manual, Quality Control Manual, MOE, training program, and capability list. Written to your facility and your people — not template fill-ins.
Application submission
FAA Form 8310-3 (or supplement) and EASA Form 2, with all attachments. We handle the regulator correspondence and respond to requests for information.
Audit preparation
Mock audit, findings closure, and personnel briefings. Your Accountable Manager and Form 4 holders walk into the audit ready to answer the questions auditors actually ask.
Certification & continued support
On-site during the certification audit. After the certificate, I stay engaged for surveillance audits, scope changes, and bilateral approvals.
Repair stations certified. Operators served.
Engagements span line maintenance, technical training, and Part 145 certification work across roles at Go For Airline Services, JET Aircraft Maintenance, and Delta Airlines.
