Our Credo

---

We understand the immense trust that our customers place in us. As aviation maintenance engineers, we must certify every customer's airplane is capable of taking them into the sky and bringing them safely back to earth, over and over again. It is a truly awesome responsibility and one that we take very, very seriously.

As a guide to our daily practices,we believe in and follow the aviation mechanic's credo. This credo is a minor variation on the Flight Safety Foundation aircraft certifier's credo which developed in the 1940s as a guide for aircraft certifiers in the, then newly emerging field, of aircraft safety inspection.

Our version goes like this:

Upon my honor...I will hold in sacred trust the rights and privileges conferred upon me as a certified Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.

Knowing full well that the safety and lives of others are dependent upon my skill and judgement, I will never subject others to risk which I would not be willing to assume for myself, or those dear to me.

I pledge never to undertake or approve work that I feel is beyond the limits of my knowledge, nor will I allow an unqualified person to persuade me to approve aircraft or equipment as airworthy against my better judgement.

I will not be influenced by personal gain, nor shall I pass as airworthy, aircraft or equipment about which I am in doubt either as a result of my inspection or uncertainty regarding the ability of others who have worked on it to accomplish their work satisfactorily.

I realize the grave responsibility that is mine - to exercise my judgment on the airworthiness of aircraft and equipment.

I pledge unyielding adherence to these precepts for the advancement of aviation and the dignity of my profession.
