Total Aviation Compliance Services Australia Pty Ltd, was founded by Andrew Rostron in 2018 as a result of careful planning and consideration and understanding that there is a need for aviation compliance services.
Having been in aviation all his working life, (mainly working in the compliance areas associated with operational areas such as Flight Operations, Airworthiness and Engineering) it was obvious to him that when businesses are forced to focus on projects and things that take them away from ‘business as usual’ they struggle to cope, especially small businesses. Additionally ‘Compliance’ used in the context of modern aviation is a complex business that requires a great deal of subject knowledge and expertise; something small or medium to large businesses don’t always have in their ranks!
By having a service made available to the aviation community that is willing to listen and help in navigating and advising in regulatory assistance or just plainly “take the load and worry away” when ensuring compliance, TACSA may be the solution for you.
