Core expertise

Six service lines. One standard of proof.

Every engagement starts with the hardware and works outward — the damage first, the paperwork second.

01

Turbine engine cost analysis

Independent analysis of large turbine engine claims — what the repair actually costs, and whether the quoted scope is supported by the damage.

  • Repair-versus-replace economics on high-value powerplants
  • Shop quote and workscope review against observed damage
  • Reserve accuracy and exposure modelling
  • Life-limited part accounting and prorated cost allocation

02

Field adjusting

On-site investigation at the aircraft, the shop, or the salvage yard — documenting the loss first-hand.

  • First-response attendance at the loss site
  • Damage documentation, photography, and evidence preservation
  • Teardown and shop-visit attendance
  • Coordination with operators, MROs, and OEM field reps

03

Structural damage assessment

Traditional, composite, and engineered structure — including the hidden-damage exposure that surfaces after the first inspection.

  • Corporate and commercial airframe inspection
  • Composite and bonded-structure repairability
  • Hidden and secondary damage exposure
  • OEM repair input and practical repair-scheme guidance

04

Claim strategy & settlement

Technical claims guidance that aligns insurers, operators, owners, OEMs, MROs, finance teams, and counsel around a documented, accurate set of facts.

  • Negotiation support and settlement positioning
  • Subrogation and recovery analysis
  • Legal document and contract review from a technical standpoint
  • Stalled-claim diagnosis and restart

05

Total loss & salvage

Independent opinion on repairability, residual value, and recovery strategy when the numbers point toward a total.

  • Repairability determination
  • Rough-order-of-magnitude exposure
  • Residual and salvage value opinion
  • Recovery and disposal strategy

06

Expert & technical review

Senior, independent review of high-value repair settlements — and testimony or mediation support when the matter escalates. Insights from a “been there, done that” perspective.

  • Technical claim review and second opinion
  • Mediation and litigation support
  • Expert witness services
  • Peer review of adjusting and estimating work

Engagement model

How the work is structured.

Scoped to the question in front of you, not to a retainer you don't need.

Single-issue review

A second opinion on one engine quote, one estimate, or one repair scheme. Days, not weeks.

Full claim engagement

Field attendance through settlement, including teardown, negotiation support, and documentation.

Ongoing technical support

Standing availability for an insurer, MRO, or law firm carrying a book of aviation matters.
