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 Novosel 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.
Work is performed under a quality system registered to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100/AS9110, not assembled per contract.
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 two aerospace quality registrations.

This carries the same ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100/AS9110 registration described above into daily task-order work, not a separate compliance layer.
Information handling is aligned with NIST SP 800-171.
ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100/AS9110 registration require a documented quality management system: written procedures for the work performed, defined process ownership, and records a third-party auditor can review.
Both standards require internal audits on a defined schedule, a corrective action process for nonconformances, and periodic management review of the system’s performance. AS9100/AS9110 add aerospace- and MRO-specific requirements on top of the ISO 9001:2015 base.
Written work instructions for every task type, owned by a named process lead.
Scheduled audits against the standard and the contract, with findings tracked to closure.
Nonconformances logged, root-caused, and fixed with verification before close-out.
Leadership reviews system performance and safety data on a fixed cadence.
Headquartered in Enterprise, Alabama, with program work reaching customer installations across the Southeast.
Our office sits minutes from Fort Novosel and the Army Aviation Center of Excellence, the Army’s rotary-wing training hub. That proximity supports the on-site staffing behind our Fort Novosel subcontract work.
CS Vertical also supports program work at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida, site of the F-16C wash and corrosion-control program, contingent on award.
