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.

At short notice Osprey picked up and delivered, to the CAA, an extremely well researched piece of UAS analysis with a number of recommendations that we can take forward into delivery. The work is high risk and will inform political decision making in the UK and set a precedent across the world. The work they have delivered to date has met the agreed scope and quality. They have delivered to the timeframe and within the cost agreed without the need to direct or oversee the detail, which was extremely important especially when one of the reasons for the commercial arrangement with Osprey was due to internal resource constraints. The review and report they have completed will feed directly into UK Government policy as well as influence European and International policy direction for RPAS.

Civil Aviation Authority

As part of the overarching aviation safety case for MARS Tanker, Osprey were requested at very short notice to provide independent safety assurance for the new to service Kelvin Hughes ATM radar. The task was agreed and completed within a week fully meeting Project expectations and timeline enabling the ATM case to progress to the regulatory acceptance phase on time.

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

Many thanks to the Osprey team for developing and delivering the recent ATM Safety Awareness and ATM Safety Practitioners courses for Cobham.  The feedback from my team has been extremely positive.  Everyone enjoyed the training and felt that they could apply the learning across many of our current programmes.  The extensive ATM & Safety experience and expertise of the Osprey course tutors was very apparent, which contributed to the overall success of the training.

Quality & Safety Manager, Cobham

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.
