Zelazny Services

Services

Four lines, all advisory, all non-invasive. Every engagement is scoped and priced before work begins.

1. Preliminary Aircraft Screening

Who it's for: Buyers and brokers evaluating a candidate before committing to a full due-diligence cycle.

What you get

  • Visual records review — completeness, condition, obvious gaps
  • Logbook sanity check — sequencing, signatures, registry continuity
  • Scope-of-records confirmation — what's there, what's missing, what to ask for
  • Short written summary with a clear go / no-go / proceed-with-caveats recommendation

Typical turnaround

2–5 business days from records receipt.

What's not included

No on-aircraft inspection, no compliance verification against tracking systems, no STC research, no formal report — those are the Due Diligence engagement.

2. Records Due Diligence

Who it's for: Buyers under PSA, financiers, insurers, brokers needing an independent paper review before close.

What you get

  • Full maintenance records review — logbook is the source of truth, all other docs cross-referenced
  • AD compliance posture — complied / needs verification / open, with priority and remaining intervals where applicable
  • SB / service-letter status as reflected in the records
  • Modifications inventory — STCs, 337s, 8110-3s, with cross-reference to weight & balance
  • Parts traceability spot-check (8130-3 tags on high-value LRUs)
  • Maintenance-event chronology with notable findings
  • Written report with citations to source pages — the report tells you where each finding came from

Typical turnaround

10–20 business days depending on records volume.

3. Maintenance Event / PPI Support

Who it's for: Owners and buyers whose aircraft is in an active inspection at an MRO and who want an independent set of eyes in the loop — without having to be there.

What you get

  • Daily check-ins with the MRO and on-site party
  • Translation of MRO findings into buyer / owner language
  • Scope-change tracking — what was in the work order, what's new, why
  • Records-as-built capture — ensuring discrepancies get logged correctly the first time
  • End-of-event summary tied back to the original work scope

Typical engagement length

Runs the length of the inspection — usually 1–4 weeks.

I am not on-site. PPI Support is liaison and translation, not on-aircraft presence. If you need a physical PPI agent in the hangar, I can refer you — and then support the records side of their work.

4. Records Organization

Who it's for: Owners with records that have accumulated across owners, MROs, and tracking systems and need to be made usable again. Often done in advance of a sale or a registry move.

What you get

  • Indexed, OCR'd, searchable records archive (digital)
  • Logbook-volume table of contents
  • Identified gaps and duplicates
  • Structured folder layout matching how the next buyer's DD team will want to read it
  • Optional: physical reorganization of binders if records are with you

Typical turnaround

Highly variable — depends entirely on volume and starting condition. Scoped after a screening pass.

What every engagement includes

  • Written, scope-locked Appendix A SOW — no scope creep without a written change order
  • Master Agreement with liability capped at fees paid, hold-harmless on advisory scope, CT governing law
  • Client records stay private — local-Mac execution preferred; no records uploaded to third-party AI services without your written authorization
  • Findings indexed by aircraft serial number — never by tail number alone

Pricing

[CONFIRM pricing model — currently deciding between flat-rate, hourly+cap, and tiered packages.]

Every prospective engagement gets a written proposal with a fixed scope and fee before any work begins. Request a proposal →
