GroundTruth Aero delivers FAA, ECCAA, JCAA and ICAO-compliant aviation consulting from someone who has actually done the work — not just written about it. Founded by Raymond D. Johnson, a licensed FAA A&P and ICAO Type II engineer with hands-on experience from the Jamaica Defence Force Air Wing through Caribbean Airlines, Global Aviation in California, and active MRO operations across the Caribbean and Americas.
The company holds a CIQ Certification in Logistics, Mini-MBA in International Business, and Master of AI Certification — registered in Jamaica (Reg. No. 7815/2026) and built to serve aviation operators who need answers from someone who has been on the line.
Everything I publish comes from real experience — not research papers. If it's in a GroundTruth guide, it's because I've used it, tested it, or learned it the hard way. Available on Gumroad, Amazon, and the GroundTruth Aero Lab Store ↗.
Career Development
I spent years figuring out what nobody told me — which licences actually open doors in the Caribbean, how to position yourself for Maintenance Manager roles, what airlines actually look for. This is that guide. Written plain. No filler.
Regulatory Guide
I'm currently building a Part 145 station at Argyle International Airport. This guide is what I've learned — the RSM structure, DRS coordination, capability list decisions, and how to align FAA requirements with ECCAA and JCAA at the same time. I wrote it because nothing like it existed for the Caribbean context.
Wellness · Somatic
30 days of gentle, trauma-informed movement to quiet the noise and feel safe in your skin again. Written from lived experience — four progressive phases: Arrival, Release, Grounding, Integration. 49 pages. Instant PDF download.
Fitness · Habit Design
No Gym. No Grind. Just Games. A psychology-backed, low-effort system that turns fitness into an addictive game — for people who'd rather do anything than hit the gym. Built on behavioral science: short feedback loops, variable rewards, visible progress.
Interactive Tool
Most maintenance software is built for record keeping. This is built for the moment before the record exists, when a pilot hands you a squawk and you decide where to look first. Eight aircraft, three Cessna types and five Islander variants. Pick the aircraft and the system, and it opens an inspection sequence shaped to that airframe. A retractable 210 does not troubleshoot like a fixed gear 172. Runs offline in any browser. USD 14.99. Reference companion for trained personnel, not approved maintenance data.
I've done this work. Hands-on, in the field, across 10+ aircraft types and 6 regulatory jurisdictions. When you hire me as a consultant, you're not getting a report written by someone who read about it — you're getting someone who has lived it.
