Airworthiness and Certification

At Osprey, our aviation consultancy specialises in a comprehensive suite of airworthiness services. We bring a detailed approach to aircraft certification and design, deeply rooted in our understanding of global civil and military aviation regulations. Our expertise in aircraft safety and certification extends to a wide array of services tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

Our capabilities in flight safety management include a thorough examination of type certification, encompassing detailed analyses of test evaluations, in-service incident data, and strategic Release to Service (RTS) support. This meticulous approach demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of aircraft operational integrity.

The Osprey team, comprised of seasoned Chartered Engineers and Ex-Regulators, brings an unparalleled depth of knowledge in various aviation platforms. This expertise positions us as a premier airworthiness consultancy, capable of offering informed guidance on a wide range of safety and compliance matters.

Our services cover diverse areas in the aviation sector, including but not limited to:

  • Comprehensive assessments and audits of civil and military air systems
  • Specialised consultancy for uncrewed and autonomous air systems
  • Strategic development and planning for advanced air mobility projects
  • Expertise in space launch system compliance and safety protocols
  • Advanced air traffic management system analysis and consultancy

Osprey’s airworthiness services go beyond standard compliance checks. We engage in the development and support of critical airworthiness documentation, such as Type Certification Plans and Statements of Operating Intent and Usage (SOIU). Our team adeptly analyses in-service data, focusing on incidents, accidents, and serious faults, to provide actionable insights for continuous safety improvements.

Moreover, our commitment to aviation safety consultancy is evident in our development of Acceptable Alternative Means of Compliance (A-AMC) and comprehensive safety assessments in accordance with key military and aerospace standards. We also specialise in compiling RTS Recommendations and Type Certificate Reports, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and regulatory compliance.

In partnering with Osprey, clients gain access to a wealth of knowledge and experience in aviation consultancy and airworthiness services, ensuring their projects are not only compliant but also at the forefront of aviation safety and operational excellence.

Osprey’s detailed evaluation of Gatwick’s ATC assets highlighted their unique ability to deliver a complex requirement within a challenging timeline.  Osprey demonstrated a high level of competence and experience that clearly demonstrated their understanding of the technical landscape and the strategic needs of our airport.  Their professional and collaborative approach ensured they worked closely with all key stakeholders to deliver the intended outcomes of the study on time and on budget. We were particularly impressed by their ability to flex their resources to meet our priorities.  I have no hesitation in recommending Osprey for future aviation projects of this nature.

I found Osprey to be professional and responsive in meeting the demands of the Blackshark project. They were always on hand to address any issues and were pragmatic and practical in their advice. I would recommend Osprey to others needing similar safety advice and support.

Osprey has been contracted by my department since March 2014 to develop, author and maintain the Platform Safety Assessment (PSA)/ Safety Case for the UK Fleet of 22 A400M aircraft.  They have consistently demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the A400M Type Certification Basis (TCB) as well as the various Defence Standards and Regulatory Publications that are appropriate to A400M.  Their work has been completed to the highest standards and they have offered my team flexible and pragmatic solutions to some very complex problems.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Osprey to any future organisation within the Air Safety and Airworthiness arena.

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.

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.
