Can you help us adopt AI safely?

Yes. We help you decide where AI creates value, manage its risks and set a policy for its use. See the AI in aviation section above, and our short course Flight Path to Trusted AI.

Can you build a custom tool for us?

Yes. We provide purpose-built tools and custom solutions, and a proof of concept is often the first step.

Do you help with electronic flight bags and digital documents?

Yes. Electronic flight bags and digital documents are part of our digital transformation support.

How long does it take, what does it cost, and how quickly will you reply?

We reply to initial enquiries within a few hours, wherever you are. How long the work takes, and what it costs, depend on the work and the outcome you want. We scope both with you in a first discussion.

Consulting & advisory

Automation, technology and AI consulting for aviation

We close the gap between available technology and operational reality: integrating tools with legacy systems, using AI safely, and proving new ideas before you commit to them.

Who this is for

Operators, airports, infrastructure owners, regulators and suppliers weighing a technology investment or the use of AI, or struggling to get existing systems to work together.

Led by Simon Ozanne. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, managed a Defence mission-planning system project as a senior consultant at AeroPM, and is an experienced commercial and military pilot, so he understands the operation the technology has to serve.

How we work

We start from the operational problem, not the product. We work with the people who will use the tool and the regulator who may have to approve it.

Discuss A first conversation about the problem and the outcome you want.
Scope We agree the work, the time and the cost with you.
Deliver Our consultants do the work alongside your people.
Hand over You keep systems and skills your people can use.

Digital transformation

Investment is lost in the gap between available technologies and operational reality: integration with legacy infrastructure never designed for digital overlay, regulatory approvals that move more slowly than procurement, public accountability that constrains deployment, and change management where failure has immediate safety and commercial consequences.

We provide support with:

Integration of compliance and management software
Electronic flight bags
Digital documents
Technology support, purpose-built tools and custom solutions
Process automation

Electronic flight bag and software products we have worked with include OzRunways, ForeFlight, AvPlan EFB, Aerotalon, Smart, Lockr, TrustFlight, AvSoft and SafetyCulture, among others. We are independent and not affiliated with any product. Product names belong to their owners.

AI in aviation

AI is already in use across aviation, often piecemeal and without a shared way to decide when it can be relied on. Aviation already has ways to decide what to trust: safety management, the human in command, and checking against a source. We apply them to AI.

We help you:

Choose the tasks that suit AI, and decide how much authority to give it: suggest, draft or act
Treat AI as part of your safety system: find the new hazards, rate them, set controls and monitoring, and keep records
Work out what the rules already require and allow, and who is accountable when AI is wrong
Set a one-page AI policy, and record how far to trust each use

The knowledge gap People do not know what AI can do, or where it fails. This is the root cause.

The trust gap Leaders hold back. Staff use AI anyway.
Disjointed implementation Tools are added team by team, with no shared rules and no owner.
Increased risk Errors and data exposure go unseen until it is too late.

The first incident confirms the fear, and the loop feeds itself.

The loop only breaks at the root. We close the knowledge gap first, then answer each trust barrier with a control, not a reassurance.

For your people, our short course Flight Path to Trusted AI is for aviation professionals in any role and any country. It is online and self-paced, takes about 2 to 2.5 hours, and ends with a certificate of completion.

Innovation

Robotics, the internet of things and advanced air mobility are reshaping aviation. Successful innovation is rarely a blank sheet. It is the adaptation of existing technologies, tools and processes to new problems. We bring people, process, tools and technology together in one integrated solution.

Technology and innovation we can assist with:

Advanced propulsion and avionics
Technical feasibility
Sustainability innovations
Safety case development and verification and validation (V&V)

Proof of concept

Our proof of concept (PoC) service helps you define, understand and implement a new solution. It is the step before a minimum viable product. A PoC lets you fail fast and learn, increasing pace and quality while decreasing risk.

Work we have done

AI flight optimisation. In 2026 we introduced AI to plan flights, loads and aircraft for a charter operator, reducing manual planning and coordination.
AI safety data analysis. We used AI to automate safety data analysis for a regional airline and uncover insights. This moved the airline from reactive record-keeping to proactive risk prevention.
Integrated electronic flight bag. We have supported several clients to introduce electronic flight bags, enhancing situational awareness, reducing pilot workload and delivering real-time information.
Paper to digital flight logs. We moved a helicopter operator from paper flight logs to a digital system, improving compliance, making aircraft records easier to track and reducing data errors.
More cost-effective aviation management software. We moved an operator of community service flights to aviation management software that costs less to run and improves operational management and safety reporting.
Defence mission-planning system (earlier experience). As a senior consultant at AeroPM, Simon managed the project risks, changes, budget and stakeholder engagement for a Defence mission-planning system.
