SDVOSB · HUBZone · CAGE 6F8N9
A veteran-founded rotary-wing services company headquartered minutes from the Army’s aviation schoolhouse.
CS Vertical Flight Solutions LLC was founded 26 January 2011 by aviation industry veterans. The company is headquartered in Enterprise, Alabama, minutes from Fort Rucker and the Army Aviation Center of Excellence.
CS Vertical delivers rotary-wing maintenance, Contractor Logistics Support, and pilot and mechanic training as a subcontractor supporting Army aviation programs. Our maintainers, instructors, and program managers come from the same flight lines our customers run.
These practices carry over from program to program, regardless of scope or customer.
Every program includes safety assessment, auditing, and standardized reporting that meet regulatory and contractual requirements.
Internal audits run on a defined schedule, and findings are tracked through corrective action until closed.
Maintainers, instructors, and program staff work on site, close to the aircraft and the customer’s schedule.
Status, issues, and schedule changes are reported directly to the customer, without added account-management layers.
Founded in 2011, CS Vertical has built a record across six rotary-wing service lines and holds two federal small-business designations, SDVOSB and HUBZone.
