Aviation guides, performance tools, and direct consulting services — written and delivered by a licensed engineer with 30 years on the hangar floor.
Practical field manuals for aviation maintenance professionals, MRO operators, and career builders across the Caribbean and Americas.
Most maintenance software is built for record keeping. This is built for the moment before the record exists. Eight aircraft, four systems, and inspection sequences shaped to each airframe's configuration class. Every path tells you when to stop and go to approved data. Reference companion for trained personnel, not approved maintenance data.
The guide Raymond wishes he'd had at the start. Certification pathways, career transitions, licence strategy, and how to position yourself in the Caribbean and Americas aviation market. Plain. Direct. Field-proven.
Written by the engineer actively building one. RSM structure, DRS coordination, capability list strategy, and multi-authority alignment across FAA, ECCAA, JCAA and ICAO — specifically for the Caribbean operating environment.
Our publications provide valuable operational frameworks — but technical disputes, lease-return inspections, and regulatory compliance actions require dedicated engineering review. Retain GroundTruth Aero for forensic record reviews, dispute assessments, and technical consultations.
Wellness and habit design guides from the GroundTruth Performance Lab — science-backed, low-effort, built for people with demanding careers.
30 days of gentle, trauma-informed movement to quiet the noise and feel safe in your skin again. Four phases: Arrival, Release, Grounding, Integration. 83 pages, second edition, with an evidence note and references for every practice.
No gym. No grind. Just games. A psychology-backed system that turns fitness into an addictive game — for people who'd rather do anything else. Built on short feedback loops, variable rewards, and zero setup cost.
