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.

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.

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.

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

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

Osprey’s expertise and specialist support have allowed Defence Equipment & Support to develop with confidence the equipment safety and airworthiness framework for the introduction of the A400M to service with the Royal Air Force. At a critical time in the aircraft’s life cycle, Osprey provided a principal consultant to cover the responsibilities of the Safety Manager and dedicated support to develop the Platform Safety Assessment.

The A400M PT has relied heavily on the professional commitment and specialist knowledge of Osprey consultants to develop and implement a credible Safety Management System and to mentor full-time members of staff joining the Project Team to positions where they are competent to hold a Letter of Airworthiness Authority. Consistently, Osprey has added significant value to the A400M Project and has a key part in the governance and assurance of A400M equipment safety and airworthiness.
