The AERIAN method
Six interconnected phases that transform operational requirements into a defensible, data-backed aircraft selection.
Capture and formalise all operational, logistical, and regulatory requirements before any aircraft is considered.
Translate qualitative needs into measurable performance, safety, and economic criteria with weighted scoring.
Independent, manufacturer-agnostic survey of available platforms — new, used, and future delivery.
Head-to-head evaluation of shortlisted aircraft against the requirements matrix with sensitivity testing.
Whole-life cost projection including acquisition, operations, maintenance, and resale.
Board-ready report with ranked recommendation, risk register, and negotiation guidance.
"The best aircraft is not the fastest,
the largest, or the most expensive.
It is the one built for your mission."
