SAE standards
Society of Automotive Engineers technical standards covering aerospace materials, processes, equipment, and quality. Foundational reference for the industry.
Precise understanding of complex aerospace, engineering, and scientific content. Expertise follows industry and research frameworks used by SAE, NASA, FAA, and international aviation authorities. Quality systems, configuration management, supplier oversight, and audit readiness.

NASA Procedural Requirements: the procedural authority for NASA programs, including safety, quality, and configuration management standards that flow down to NASA contractors.
Federal Aviation Regulations governing certified repair stations: quality control, training, recordkeeping, and capability lists. Maintains airworthiness across the supply chain.
The aerospace-specific extension of ISO 9001. The quality management system standard most aerospace primes require of their suppliers. Configuration management, risk, FOD, counterfeit parts.
AS9100-aligned quality manual scoped to your operations. The single document that ties together your quality system for customer and registrar audits.
Gap analysis against the standard, remediation plan, internal audit program, management review cadence. The work that converts a manual into an audit-ready system.
Identification, control, status accounting, and audit of product configuration. The discipline that prevents the wrong revision from shipping.
Foreign Object Debris program design, training, and metrics. Specific to aerospace; a leading indicator of quality system health.
Calibration program design and records discipline. The "show me the cal cert" question gets answered without scrambling.
For registrar audits (AS9100, ISO 9001), customer audits, FAA surveillance, and NASA contract reviews, documented evidence, prepared interviews, no surprises on the day.
Aerospace overlaps Security (defense customers add CMMC and NIST 800-171 obligations), and Legal (export control via ITAR and EAR, flow-down clauses from primes). Most aerospace engagements involve at least one of these crossings.
Yes. Readiness work: gap analysis, quality manual, procedures, internal audits, management review, registrar preparation. We are not a registrar; we get you to the point where the registrar audit is routine.
Yes. Repair station capability lists, training programs, recordkeeping systems, internal audit, and FAA surveillance preparation. Coordinated with your accountable manager and quality leadership.
NASA NPR flow-downs vary widely by program; we map the specific flow-downs in your contract to your existing quality system, identify gaps, and build the documentation and procedures to close them.
Yes. Both directions: helping you audit your suppliers to AS9100 expectations, and helping you respond to customer audits of your operations. Internal audit program design is a common deliverable.
Substantially, for defense suppliers. We coordinate AS9100 work with CMMC L1/L2 readiness so the same effort produces evidence for both regimes where possible. The control mapping and policy work are often shared.
The discovery conversation takes 30 to 60 minutes. We respond within one business day.
