Joe McKenna - Osprey Consulting

Joe McKenna

Platforms and Air Systems Team Leader

Joe spent 16 years in the Royal Air Force as an Aerosystems Engineering Officer working with fast jet, transport, and surveillance aircraft, specialising in military-registered civil-operated platforms.  For the last 6 years, Joe has been an air safety and airworthiness consultant supporting numerous air platforms in the Defence Air Environment.

As an aerospace safety consultant, Joe undertook independent safety auditor activities for Typhoon, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and P-8A Poseidon.  He also supported the UK Military Flying Training System to bring the new fixed-wing training aircraft into service including the establishment of the Prefect TMk1 in-service support team.  More recently, Joe provided safety support to the Puma2 & Gazelle Delivery Team by producing the Gazelle AH Mk1 risk-to-life safety artefacts.

Joe has also recently completed an MSc in Safety and Risk Leadership and will be leading an Air System Safety Case tasking into AirCap for a surveillance aircraft and further developing the Osprey Space safety offering.

The team at Osprey were outstanding in their approach to our project and throughout the timeline the team were fully supportive with their communication and interaction.

The output from the team proved to me that they deliver high quality pieces of work.

Glasgow Prestwick Airport

To help find an acceptable interim mitigation for a proposed Wind Farm, LSA approached Osprey as recognised leaders in Wind Turbine Mitigation methods. As part of their remit Osprey reviewed the potential capabilities of the local radar as well as other mitigation technologies in relation to the anticipated turbine effects and our Operational Requirement. Based on their assessment of the available solutions, the local airspace environment and the demanding project timescales, the use of a Non Automatic Initiation Zone (NAIZ) was proposed.

Osprey subsequently developed the Radar Sensor Safety Case to include the NAIZ and supported LSA through the subsequent discussions with CAA SARG. As a result of these discussions the NAIZ was accepted into operational service prior to turbine operation.

The solution has subsequently worked well and has proven itself to be the right decision for the mitigation of the Wind Farm.

I would readily recommend Osprey to any ANSP seeking supportive and informed assistance in establishing mitigation of Wind Turbines on Approach Radars.

London Southend Airport

Osprey provided a great service from the outset, and ensured that all aspects of the Safety Assurance documentation were accurate, robust and concise. It has been a pleasure working with the Osprey Safety Team, and I’d have no hesitation recommending their services to others.

West Wales Airport

I have been exceptionally pleased with the manner that Osprey have supported the Operator Training Delivery.  The response to requests for support particularly with a programme which has fluid timelines and often required last minute changes or short notice requests were well received.  Furthermore, on every occasion Simon Kirby was professional, flexible and accommodating ensuring we were able to meet key milestones particularly with the quick completion of the Training Reports.  Moreover, the feedback from our customers was excellent and we always received highly positive feedback on the delivery of the training.

Again, Steve Elks and his colleagues have provided outstanding support to the STAMP project and associated Safety Committee, always providing sound advice and at times providing order to proceedings when meetings go off on a tangent.

All associated with the STAMP project respect Steve’s views and comprehensive knowledge of the world of safety.

I, STAMP team look forward to working with Steve and his colleagues at Osprey Consulting Services for a long time to come.
