About Us

We are a new reliability engineering services company with a focus on legacy aircraft systems. Our staff has also done extensive work with veteran military maintainers in related past efforts. These two traits inspired our name - Veterans Legacy

From cargo planes to commercial carriers to fighters and everything in between, there are still many legacy aircraft operating in the world today. These aircraft and their engines and other systems are frequently being updated but still don’t have all of the modern computerized technology for recording reliability metrics as many of the latest fleets have. This of course does not lessen their importance or need for reliable and cost effective maintenance and safety. This is where we can help. We have broad experience working with legacy fleet data for military and commercial operators in the U.S. and abroad. Regardless of where you are with a reliability program or data requirements, we can start with what is in place and help you improve at your desired pace.

Over the past 20+ years, our staff has had extensive hands-on experience in developing, implementing and improving Reliability Based Maintenance Programs for legacy aircraft systems as well as in managing other aviation engineering efforts. We understand the key elements needed for a successful Reliability Based Maintenance Program regardless of which type of maintenance you must adhere to or have in place today. Let us show you how to get the maximum possible reliability for your fleet(s) at the lowest possible operating costs.

Additional Info

A strong Reliability Based Maintenance Program is a continuous process/cycle with analysis, implementation, review, and then adapting as needed as more knowledge is gained and as missions and fleets change.

Utilizing veteran maintainers / Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) has proven invaluable on past U.S. and other foreign allied military Reliability Based Maintenance Programs. They could potentially enhance your program as well should you have a need for improved maintenance event troubleshooting and reliability data collection at any of your repair shops.
