Operating Context
An older fleet, a tighter inspection regime, and fewer hands to do the work.
The conditions that make disciplined maintenance decisions valuable are documented in federal data, not asserted. Three of them define the environment GB Aerotech is built for.
11.5 → 14.7 yrs
Average age of U.S. air-carrier fleets, 2006 to 2023. Aircraft staying in service longer carry recurring inspection, structural-integrity, component-reliability and documentation requirements across a longer lifecycle.
U.S. DOT, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, “Fleet Mix” ↗New AD limitations
FAA airworthiness directives applicable to A318/A319/A320/A321 and A330 aircraft impose new or more restrictive maintenance and inspection limitations addressing fatigue cracking, accidental damage and corrosion in principal structural elements.
FAA, AD 2026-09-03 and AD 2025-19-04 ↗≈13,100 / year
Projected annual openings for aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and technicians, 2025 to 2035. Many openings arise as workers transfer occupations or leave the labor force, including through retirement.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook ↗These conditions describe the operating environment. They are context for the endeavor, not a claim about results GB Aerotech has already produced.
The Proposition
Most maintenance work ends when the aircraft is released. Ours is designed to leave something behind.
A repair closes a discrepancy. It rarely changes how the next one is diagnosed. GB Aerotech structures each engagement so that the technical reasoning survives it: a measured baseline, a documented protocol, and training material that another organization can pick up and run.
01
Engineering review, not just task execution
Maintenance history, recurring discrepancies and system-specific conditions are reviewed for root cause and sequencing before a protocol is written. This applies mechanical-engineering analysis to problems normally handled task-by-task.
02
Measured against a baseline
Every engagement opens with documented baseline indicators and project-specific targets, so results are compared against something rather than asserted after the fact.
03
Built to be handed over
Validated practices are converted into reusable workflows, checklists, decision protocols and training modules. That is how one engagement becomes capacity for the next.
04
Delivered through authorized structures
Regulated maintenance, inspection and return-to-service functions are performed by appropriately certificated personnel and organizations. Where GB Aerotech does not hold the authorization, a qualified partner does.
Capabilities
Six connected services, one methodology.
These are not separate lines of business. Each one feeds the same loop of assess, implement, measure, standardize and replicate, and each is delivered within the authorization applicable to the work.
01
02Corrective Maintenance
Structured troubleshooting and engineering review of identified discrepancies, through component replacement or repair and post-maintenance evaluation.

06Bilingual Technical Training
An FAA-aligned bilingual technical curriculum for Spanish-speaking maintenance professionals building the technical, regulatory and English-language competencies U.S. environments require.
Read moreMethodology
Six phases, applied the same way every time.
The framework exists so that an engagement produces evidence rather than an opinion. Each phase has a defined input, a defined output, and a point at which the work can be compared against what was expected.
- 01
Aircraft & Fleet Assessment
Identify the applicable aircraft configuration, maintenance history, recurring discrepancies, system-specific issues, operational constraints and relevant manufacturer and FAA requirements. Baseline maintenance-performance indicators are established before anything is changed.
- 02
Engineering Diagnostic Review
Review maintenance history, recurring failures, and hydraulic, fuel, structural, landing-gear and component issues alongside available condition-monitoring information, to find opportunities for better root-cause analysis, earlier recognition of recurring conditions, and more consistent maintenance decisions.
- 03
Maintenance Optimization Protocol
Develop project-specific preventive and corrective recommendations, inspection priorities, component-replacement criteria, documentation procedures, decision thresholds, escalation criteria, defined responsibilities and quality-control checkpoints.
- 04
Condition Monitoring & Predictive Diagnostics
Apply existing maintenance information and commercially available sensing or analytical tools where technically appropriate, and use the engagement to build structured condition-monitoring data sets for later evaluation.
- 05
Implementation & Performance Monitoring
Authorized personnel and facilities implement the applicable maintenance process. Actual project outcomes are measured against the previously established baseline and the project-specific target values.
- 06
Post-Implementation Review & Standardization
Compare expected against actual results, document technical lessons, identify deviations, revise procedures where warranted, and convert validated practices into reusable workflows, checklists, decision protocols, training modules and implementation materials.
No project-specific recommendation supersedes an applicable FAA requirement, Airworthiness Directive, manufacturer limitation or certificate-holder procedure.
Measurement
What gets measured, and what does not get claimed.
Four categories are kept distinct: the baseline established before intervention, the target set for the engagement, the result actually measured, and any longer-term projection that remains contingent on validation.
GB Aerotech does not assume a fixed percentage reduction in cost, downtime, labor hours or component failures before pilot evidence exists. The theory of change is that disciplined baseline measurement, engineering review, standardized intervention and post-implementation measurement turn individual engagements into reusable organizational knowledge.
Maintenance performance
- Unscheduled maintenance events and repeat discrepancies
- Maintenance turnaround time
- Aircraft downtime and availability
- Recurrence of previously identified problems
- Maintenance labor hours for selected tasks
- Component replacement and rework frequency
Quality and diagnostics
- Diagnostic accuracy where objectively measurable
- Documentation and compliance quality
- Deviation between expected and actual outcomes
Workforce and replication
- Training completion rates
- Pre- and post-training competency scores
- Technician progression toward applicable certification pathways
- Subsequent adoption or replication of standardized protocols
Workforce Development
Bilingual technical training, aligned to U.S. certification pathways.
The industry is short of technicians and holds a large pool of experienced Spanish-speaking maintenance professionals who lack the regulatory vocabulary and technical English that U.S. environments assume. That gap is trainable.
The curriculum is built for maintenance professionals and candidates strengthening the technical, regulatory and English-language competencies required in U.S. aviation-maintenance environments. It is designed to be transferable: standardized instructor materials, bilingual technical glossaries, competency matrices, digital modules and a train-the-trainer structure allow additional authorized educational or aviation organizations to adopt it.
Curriculum
- FAA regulatory terminology and maintenance documentation
- Technical English and bilingual aviation terminology
- A320 / A330 systems orientation
- Hydraulic and fuel systems
- Structural-inspection fundamentals
- Landing-gear procedures
- Maintenance safety and human factors
- Records and logbook practices
- Diagnostic reasoning and troubleshooting
- Quality-control and compliance practices
This program is described as FAA-aligned training designed to support applicable FAA mechanic certification pathways. GB Aerotech does not issue an FAA mechanic certificate or an FAA-certificated-school credential. Where 14 C.F.R. Part 147 authorization is required, delivery occurs through an appropriately certificated Aviation Maintenance Technician School unless and until GB Aerotech obtains its own applicable FAA authorization.
Technology Position
Predictive capability is earned, not announced.
NASA's analysis of predictive and prescriptive maintenance in aviation identifies data availability and quality, validation and safety assurance, regulation, implementation cost and the difficulty of quantifying operational impact as real barriers to adoption. We sequence the work accordingly: data first, validation second, claims last.
01
Stage 1: Work with what exists
Available maintenance records, recurring-discrepancy information, engineering diagnostics and commercially available monitoring tools support maintenance decisions today.
02
Stage 2: Build the data
Pilot engagements establish structured methods for collecting relevant condition and maintenance-performance data, the input any predictive model would require.
03
Stage 3: Test with qualified partners
Once sufficient usable data exist, predictive models may be evaluated in collaboration with qualified software, data-science and sensor-technology partners.
04
Stage 4: Validate before deployment
Any AI-assisted analytical function is evaluated against actual maintenance outcomes and applicable safety, quality and regulatory requirements before being represented as validated or offered for broader deployment.
GB Aerotech does not currently own or operate a proprietary AI-powered predictive-maintenance platform, and does not represent one as developed or validated.
How We Work
How an engagement works.
Five steps from the first call to a procedure your team keeps. Nothing starts without an agreed baseline, and nothing finishes without a written result.
- 01
Technical call
Tell us the aircraft, the system and what keeps coming back. No sales deck. A working conversation with the engineer who will scope the job.
- 02
Scoped assessment
We review the configuration, maintenance history and recurring discrepancies, then tell you honestly whether the work can produce measurable evidence. If it cannot, we say so.
- 03
Baseline and protocol
We document the starting indicators and agree a written protocol: inspection priorities, component-replacement criteria, decision thresholds, responsibilities and quality-control checkpoints.
- 04
Implementation
Regulated work is carried out by appropriately certificated personnel and facilities. We coordinate it, review the technical outcome and stay accountable for the protocol.
- 05
Measured result and handover
You receive the outcome compared against the baseline, the technical lessons, and the written procedure your team keeps and reuses on the next aircraft.

Founder · Mechanical Engineer · Technical Lead
Founder
A mechanical engineer who spent his career on the hangar floor, which is why the methodology is written the way it is.
Germán Bojacá is a mechanical engineer and aeronautical technician whose aviation career began in 2012 as a maintenance apprentice with the Colombian National Police Air Division and SATENA, preparing tools, organizing work sites and cleaning components for inspection under licensed supervision.
From 2015 to 2020 he worked as an Aircraft Heavy Maintenance Technician at AVIANCA S.A., performing C and D checks on Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft in MRO facilities: inspection, checking and operational testing of hydraulic systems, fuel-system inspection, structural inspection, and the removal and installation of landing gear with the associated adjustments, testing and troubleshooting.
Before an Engagement
Maintenance-optimization readiness check.
A pilot engagement only produces usable evidence if certain things exist at the start. These are the six we look for in a first conversation.
Aircraft and configuration data
Applicable A320 or A330 configuration, effectivity and current operating constraints.
Maintenance history
Accessible records covering the systems in scope, far enough back to show patterns.
A recurring problem worth solving
Repeat discrepancies, a system that keeps coming back, or a task whose labor hours are hard to predict.
Measurable baseline indicators
Turnaround time, downtime, labor hours or repeat-discrepancy counts that can be established before anything changes.
An authorized implementation path
The certificated personnel, repair station or certificate-holder procedures through which regulated work will be performed.
A reason to standardize
More than one aircraft, more than one station, or a team that would use the resulting protocol after the engagement ends.
FAQs
Questions we are asked most often.
Straight answers about scope, authorization and how an engagement actually runs. If your question is not here, call and ask.
- 01Is GB Aerotech an FAA-certificated repair station?
- No. GB Aerotech is not certificated under 14 C.F.R. Part 145 and is not an FAA-certificated Aviation Maintenance Technician School under Part 147. Regulated maintenance, inspection, alteration and approval for return to service are carried out by appropriately certificated personnel and organizations, or under the procedures of an authorized certificate holder. We are explicit about this because knowing exactly who holds which authorization is part of running a clean maintenance program.
- 02So what does GB Aerotech actually do?
- We do the engineering work around the maintenance: reviewing maintenance history and recurring discrepancies, finding root causes, writing a project-specific optimization protocol, establishing baseline indicators, measuring the outcome against them, and turning what worked into a repeatable procedure. Where the work is regulated, we coordinate delivery through partners who hold the applicable authorization.
- 03Which aircraft do you work on?
- Airbus A320 family and A330. The focus is deliberate. Our founder spent his career on those types, including C and D checks, hydraulic and fuel systems, structural inspection and landing-gear removal and installation, and a narrow focus is what makes the diagnostic review worth anything.
- 04What does a first engagement look like?
- It starts with a technical conversation about a specific recurring problem. If there is a fit, we scope a pilot: document the baseline, run the diagnostic review, agree the protocol, implement through the authorized path, then measure the result against the baseline. You get the measured outcome and the written procedure either way.
- 05Do you have an AI predictive-maintenance platform?
- Not today, and we will not claim otherwise. Predictive capability needs usable data first. Early engagements use existing maintenance records, recurring-discrepancy information, engineering diagnostics and commercially available monitoring tools, while building the structured data any future model would need. Predictive models get tested with qualified technology partners and validated against real maintenance outcomes before we would offer them.
- 06What does the bilingual training program cover?
- FAA regulatory terminology and documentation, technical English, A320 and A330 systems, hydraulic and fuel systems, structural-inspection fundamentals, landing-gear procedures, safety and human factors, logbook practice, diagnostic reasoning, and quality control. It is FAA-aligned training built to support the applicable certification pathways. We do not issue FAA mechanic certificates or Part 147 credentials, and where Part 147 authorization is required, delivery happens through a certificated school.
- 07Who is the training for?
- Experienced Spanish-speaking maintenance professionals and candidates who need the regulatory vocabulary and technical English that U.S. environments assume, and organizations that want to bring a bilingual workforce up to a documented standard. Participants complete pre- and post-training assessments so progress is evidenced.
- 08How do you price work?
- By scope. There is no published rate card, because a landing-gear coordination on one aircraft and a fleet-wide recurring-discrepancy review are not the same job. Tell us the aircraft, the systems and the problem, and you get a scoped proposal.
- 09Where do you operate?
- We are based in Florida and work with operators, repair stations and training institutions across the United States. Additional locations are evaluated only once repeat demand, regulatory readiness and comparable results across engagements support it.
Bring us a recurring problem.
If an A320 or A330 system keeps coming back, that is the engagement worth scoping first.
