What I help operators with

Focused, hands-on work on the documents and programs Transport Canada actually looks at. I do the work, not just the advice.

COM and SOP development

New Company Operations Manuals, SOPs and amendments, written to read clearly for crews and stand up to review.

TC review and conformance

Conformance reports, responses to Transport Canada findings, and support through a live review or inspection.

Safety management

SMS development or review, hazard reporting, and internal audit programs that people will actually use.

Training programs

Company training programs and courseware, designed by a former Chief Flight Instructor and Training Captain.

New aircraft and operations

Adding a type, a floatplane, or a new kind of operation across your manuals, SOPs and training.

Manual cleanup and conversion

Turning scanned or patched-together manuals into clean, editable documents that are easy to amend.

How it works

Clear scope, no surprises

01

Diagnostic

A fixed-fee review of your documents and situation. If you go ahead, the fee is credited toward the job.

02

Scoped estimate

A written scope with a not-to-exceed estimate, so you know the ceiling before any work starts.

03

Through to approval

I do the writing and editing and stay with you through Transport Canada's review.

Experience

Built by someone who has had to live inside these systems

I've spent more than twenty years in Canadian aviation: flight instruction, commuter operations, cargo and business aviation, plus airport management. I've written a Company Operations Manual and SOPs from scratch, managed an aircraft import, and led a college pilot training program.

I still fly the line as Captain, so the advice you get reflects how operations work today, not how they worked when the manual was first written.
