The 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group Supports The Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) Concerning Commercial Aircraft Ground Safety Hazards & Operations

As the sole and only South Florida based aviation and aerospace consultant group that has and maintains an established and trusted relationship with Local, County and Federal Law Enforcement, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) is often tasked to advise and training on various sensitive issues regarding aviation and the application of tactical force

Again, the the sole aviation and aerospace consulting to group to work with Law Enforcement, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) maintains a working and advisory relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) since 2010. Shown here are members of the (FBI) Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) undergoing operational training which was enhanced by the (94th ACG) established and proven training for tactical operator concerning commercial aircraft's

Sharing certain technical and operational attributes of modern commercial aircraft's with a tactical and counter-operative mindset is beneficial to County and Federal Law Enforcement Operators

For security purpose and at the request of the Bureau the faces of the Operators who were trained and benefited by the training as given by the 94th AeroClaim-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) had to be blotted out as shown. The (94th ACG) has and maintains an operational security clearance since 2008 when it was first tapped by the U.S. Department of Defense

Miami, Florida 15th April 2016: As the sole aviation consultant company within all of South Florida who has a direct connection in supporting all levels of tactical Law Enforcement, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) again answered the call. 
This time the call came from a tier one group, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Hostage Rescue Team (HRT). Having had and maintained a viable and effective relationship with the FBI since 2010, the 94th ACG was able to share and teach certain critical and sensitive aviation maintenance issues to the HRT operators which allows them to access a commercial aircraft so as to carry out their tactical missions in taking down an aircraft while on the ground.
Do to the sensitivity of the nature of our set training procedures details can not be shared, but we shall say that the 'Bad Guys" now a days are very knowledgeable of aircraft and aircraft systems that could be applied to stymie the tactical effort and operation of law enforcement, we teach the counter measures.  

The 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group Supports The Department of The Navy At Naval Air Station Key West For an Aviation Maintenance Safety / Risk Awareness Assement & Presentation

The current and primer U.S. Navy Fighter and Attack aircraft, the Boeing F-18E/F Hornet. The Hornet successfully replaced the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and A-6 Intruder into one multi-mission, dual role aircraft thus eliminating the need for two separate aircraft's

As a former U.S. Navy, Gold-Wing, Naval Aircrewmand having flown the Lockheed P-3C Orion and maintained Grumman F-14 Tomcats with a total combine experience of well over twenty years combined active duty and reserve, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Group Founder & CEO is no stranger on a U.S. Naval Air Station flight line

One of the aircraft which was targeted for flight line safety lecturing due to its small and low profile to the ground was the F-5E Tiger a single pilot, single engine, high speed fighter aircraft

One of the most valued and highly regarded attributes that the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) leadership and associate have is their technical and operation ability to adapted and conform to the needs of any client based on the vast range of experience and forte. From the board room to the flight line of a U.S. Naval Air Station the (94th ACG) lives up to the phrase "Unlike Anything Ready For Everything"

With an almost knife edge leading edge and its low proximity to the ground, the F-5E poses a hazard to those who may work around the aircraft and not be fully aware of environmental condition that could lead to personal injuries or damage to ground equipment improperly staged around the aircraft

Key West, Florida 7-8th April 2016: As the saying goes within the commercial aviation insurance world that everything in motion is at risk and that holds true for the military sector of aviation and at a higher rated then the commercial field. In our constant support of the Department of Defense we were able to have provided our military aviation professional with an insight in looking at the inherit risks with maintenance operation around aircraft's. 
Often the most profound problem with aviation risk is the issue of "routines" in as where people get too comfortable in doing a set procedures and dropping the guard of situation  awareness.

Miami, Florida 15th March 2016: Before the attribute of generating revenue, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) prides themselves as the sole and only, South Florida based, aviation and aerospace consultant group that through its established resources and reserves of well over a decade plus could place training and safety way before the need and priory of generating revenue. 
This unorthodox approach is but one such qualities that distinguishes, the (94th ACG) from the rest, as our motto goes "Unlike Anything, Ready For Everything".
With said, the sense of training and safety is paramount and its one of the strong pillars of the group core values. The philosophy is simple, as consultants, the (94th ACG) must and has to maintain its leadership and primary associates well trained and update so as to best serve our clients. Whether its learning from the FAA on new safety programs like SAS, visiting various shops to learn of new test procedures, spending time with mechanics on various sorts of planes and engines all are mean to ensure that its leadership and associates maintain a current edge. With that said the sense of performing pre-buy evaluations, bank  and lending appraisals on large commercial aircraft's are just but a few areas of the company expertise and forte that benefits from constant training.
Far too often colleagues who appears to provide the same services are not fully updated on mechanical or operational issues and often result in passing bad judgment or wort damage to equipment in which they are evaluating due to the lack of training.
That is way the (94th ACG) expends as much effort, time and resources to keep training and safety on the forefront of their operation. Despite being an old and a trusted workhorse, the Boeing 727 still has a global market presences and with past, current and future clients who calls on the (94th ACG) so as to undertake pre-buy inspection, operational evaluations and regulatory conformity inspection, knowing the 727 from all aspects makes it an added value for our clients.
