Every maintenance action closes against a documented standard, not a mechanic’s judgment call. CS Vertical pairs FAA-licensed airframe and powerplant maintainers with functional check flight (FCF) pilots, so no aircraft returns to service without a verified sign-off.
On task orders that specify USAF Technical Order standards, including aircraft wash and corrosion-control programs, work is planned to those requirements from the outset, not retrofitted after inspection.
Maintainers hold FAA airframe and powerplant licenses before we place them on a task order, and FCF pilots hold the qualifications the program requires. Maintenance staff work on site at the customer’s installation, under base-access and background-check requirements. [Client to supply: specific FAA certificate ratings held by current staff]
Signed maintenance action forms, return-to-service documentation, and FCF flight records. [Client to supply: specific maintenance record-keeping system used]
Every maintainer we place carries the licenses and qualifications a task order requires.
Yes. CS Vertical maintainers hold FAA airframe and powerplant licenses, and FCF pilots hold current qualifications for the aircraft they check.
Yes, to USAF Technical Order standards, as we do for the F-16C wash program at Homestead Air Reserve Base.
