Company
What GB Aerotech is for.
A small, engineering-led company built around one idea: that maintenance expertise becomes far more valuable when it is measured, written down and handed to someone else.
Mission
Apply Germán Bojacá Prada's aircraft-maintenance and diagnostic experience to an integrated framework that can be measured, improved and replicated.
Vision
Build a trusted U.S. capability that improves maintenance decision quality and technician readiness through validated, repeatable methods.
Strategy
- A320 / A330 focus rather than general-purpose maintenance
- Authorized partner delivery for all regulated work
- Measurement-first execution: baseline before intervention
- Progressive diagnostics, validated before deployment
- Reusable training and implementation assets

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.
From 2022 to 2023 he served as an Aircraft Maintenance Technician for LATAM Airlines Colombia on the A320 family, evaluating crew reports against the Minimum Equipment List to release aircraft for short transits with their deferred items, troubleshooting, daily and weekly checks, component replacement, and maintenance logbook entries under short-turnaround pressure.
The engineering degree is what connects those roles. Failure analysis, system dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and vibration analysis are the tools he used to anticipate component behavior rather than only respond to it, and they are the basis of the diagnostic review at the center of GB Aerotech's methodology.

Scope of responsibility
The division of work is deliberate, and stated plainly so that no capability is attributed to the founder that he has not demonstrated.
Germán Bojacá
- Development of the A320/A330 maintenance-optimization methodology
- Engineering-based diagnostic review
- Technical analysis of landing-gear, hydraulic, fuel and structural issues
- Quality-control and technical-procedure development
- Technical content for training materials
- Client technical coordination, pilot design and review of results
Qualified personnel & partners
- FAA regulatory and certification guidance
- Maintenance and return-to-service functions requiring certificated personnel
- Part 145 repair-station operations and Part 147 training activity
- Software development, data science and predictive-model validation
- Sensor and data-infrastructure implementation
- Bilingual instructional delivery and curriculum-design support
Who we work with
The engagement model suits organizations that operate or maintain the target fleet and have a recurring problem worth measuring.
- Airbus A320 / A330 operators
- Part 145 repair stations and MRO organizations
- Aircraft leasing and aviation-service providers
- Technical training institutions
- Spanish-speaking maintenance professionals
Who we work through
Regulated functions are delivered by organizations holding the applicable authorization. These relationships are part of the implementation strategy and are developed as each stage requires.
- FAA-authorized Part 145 and Part 147 organizations
- Airbus operators and MRO organizations
- Technology and data partners
- Aviation schools and training institutions
- Parts and tooling vendors
- Workforce organizations
The people who do the work.
GB Aerotech is deliberately small and technical. The founder leads every engagement, and specialists are brought in for the disciplines the work requires.
Aircraft Maintenance Technicians
Scheduled and unscheduled work on A320 and A330 airframes and systems, within the applicable authorized structure.
Avionics Technicians
Electrical and avionics systems diagnostics, supporting the recurring-discrepancy analysis that drives the protocol.
Bilingual Technical Instructors
Delivery of the technical curriculum in English and Spanish, with competency assessment before and after training.
Landing Gear Specialists
Removal, installation, adjustment and testing, the discipline the founder came up through.
Condition-Monitoring Analysts
Structuring maintenance and condition data so trends are visible and any future predictive work has something real to sit on.
Authorized Partner Organizations
Part 145 repair stations and Part 147 schools that hold the certificates for regulated work and credentialed training.
The team grows with confirmed engagement volume, and roles are opened when the work to support them is in place. No positions are currently open. Technicians and instructors who want to be considered are welcome to get in touch.
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.
Bring us a recurring problem.
If an A320 or A330 system keeps coming back, that is the engagement worth scoping first.
