Find the problem others overlook.
Build the path to a solution.
Build the path to a solution.
A maintenance discrepancy. A regulatory gap. A documentation issue. The real challenge is recognizing how they connect—and knowing what to do next.
Michael Vagg combines a deep understanding of how aircraft systems operate together with aircraft maintenance manual requirements and applicable regulations. GovAir uses that insight to identify overlooked issues, trace their wider effects, and develop practical solutions for your aircraft or program.
CLARITY — Understand the issue, its cause, and why it matters.
DIRECTION — Turn findings into practical actions grounded in technical requirements.
FORESIGHT — Identify connected issues before they lead to further rework or disruption.
Technical insight grounded in the aircraft, the manuals, and the regulations.
