TRUTH - ANALYSIS - RESULTS
"Truth, Analysis, Results" isn't a tagline I picked for effect. It's how I actually work. Find out what's really happening, figure out why, then fix it.
Regulatory clarity from someone who used to write the findings.
I'm Terry Ostash — 21 years with Transport Canada Civil Aviation, most recently as Technical Team Lead, Airworthiness. I left to help your company close the gaps before they turn into findings, not scramble to explain them after.

WHAT I DO
Typical areas of engagement
AUDITS & COMPLIANCE
Before and after the auditor
Transport Canada & industry audit preparation. Findings analysis, corrective actions, tracking systems. Policy manual audits against what your operation actually does.
INVESTIGATIONS
The actual cause not just the symptom
TapRoot®-certified root cause investigation for incidents, injuries, and equipment damage — and a corrective action plan Transport Canada accepts the first time.
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS & MANUAL DEVELOPMENT
Documents that actually hold up.
Manual development, SOPs, process documents, and maintenance schedules. Let’s untangle manuals and documents that stopped matching what the shop actually does.
COMPANY STARTUP SUPPORT
Fewer surprises when you’re just starting.
For operators and AMOs starting from scratch - I’ve reviewed and approved this paperwork from the regulator’s side, so I know where applicants usually lose time.
SMS & ONGOING SUPPORT
Compliance that doesn’t lapse between audits
Internal SMS audits, SMS implementation and monitoring, plus a retainer option for AMOs & air operators that need a hand on the file year-round, not just in a crisis.
I spent two decades on the other side of the table.
WHY VERITAS?
That's not a sales line — I know what Transport Canada is looking for, what makes a finding stick, what is challenged, and where companies lose time on paperwork that isn't buying them any real safety. My practice closes that gap.
"I often see more administrative burden than is necessary. Policy and procedures disconnected from the operation results in non-compliance."
