About Tim Geil
Four decades of judgment earned inside real claims.
Waco, Texas · Available for domestic and international matters
Geil Aviation Consulting was founded to provide independent expertise that helps clients resolve complex aviation claims with confidence.
Our approach is based on a deep understanding of the aviation industry and the challenges that our clients face. We assist clients in getting the most from their insurance coverage through innovative solutions that drive settlement success.
Over 38 years, Tim has handled thousands of aviation losses — routine damage through catastrophic airline events, domestic and international, across airline, corporate, and general aviation fleets. The work has been done at the aircraft and in the engine shop as often as possible: teardown attendance, field adjusting, and hands-on cost analysis on large turbine powerplants.
That background is what he brings to a file now. Insurers get an accurate reserve. Owners and operators get an independent reader of the workscope who can say which line items the damage actually supports. Counsel gets a technical witness who has been in the room when these claims were adjusted for real.
The approach is deliberately independent — no repair-side interest, no carrier-side quota. Clients get an honest read of the exposure and a realistic path to settlement, even when that read is not the one they were hoping for.

Operating principle
Foundational, faith-based, with honesty, accuracy, transparency, and respect for the client's bottom line.
Industry perspective
“Tim occupies rarified air in this industry. There are very few people who have seen what he has seen — or who bring what he brings to the table. His technical depth, candor, and ability to navigate sensitive claims is simply best in class.”
