– Irvin Sahni, MD

I can't live without Savvy. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you've done for me. I'm honest when i say that everywhere - but especially in aviation - it is hard to find people who truly excel in service and value to the customer. Savvy is definitely one of those. Thanks again!

– Carlos A. D. Cendoya

Working with the Savvy team has been great! Savvy makes my busy life much easier.

– Harvey Rock

Thank you, Savvy. You've been an amazing help to us, and very patient (which is truly appreciated).

– Garrison (Gary) Cavell

Being a Savvy client gives me great comfort that the effort and resources expended to maintain my airplane are, without a doubt, the best investment I could have made. A Cessna Turbo 210 would not be an airplane I'd want to fly (especially with employees or family on board) if it were maintained by a 172 mechanic. It requires a real 210 expert with many years of 210 experience. That's what I get from Savvy.

– Bob Dosser

I can't say enough about the Savvy program, technical team, and expertise in giving me all the necessary and appropriate advice and comfort level when making big (and little) maintenance decisions. You simply can't put a price tag on that!

– Kyle Jones

The Savvy program has given me great peace of mind over the past year. I have said on COPA several times that Savvy is the best bargain in aviation (an area not known for bargains). Going through maintenance issues with Savvy has taught me so much about the aircraft that I would have never known had they not been in my corner.There is simply no substitute for having the experts like Tom, Jeff, and Mike looking out for me.

– Jack Byrd

I love the service offered by Savvy and plan on continuing as a Savvy client for as long as I own an airplane.

– Timothy Coomer

The best money I have ever spent in aviation!!!!! The service is a utopia.

– Frank Fotia III

Awesome overall service. Very fast and complete responses. It's obvious for me as a client that you take the time to asses my request. It is not a "one response fit all", but tailored to my needs.

– Gonzalo, Van’s RV-7

Brandon gave quick and helpful guidance to my issue. Savvy makes me a safer pilot and aircraft owner.

– Darrell, Mooney M20K

FAQS

About SavvyQA

Am I a good fit for SavvyQA?

Am I a good fit for SavvyQA?

Our SavvyQA consulting plan is designed for aircraft owners who prefer to manage their own maintenance and work directly with their shops, but would still like impartial, trusted, and expert advice when they need it.

All aircraft qualify for SavvyQA. This includes flying club, flight school, leaseback, Part 135, and experimental aircraft.

What is the difference between SavvyQA and SavvyMX?

What is the difference between SavvyQA and SavvyMX?

SavvyQA is a consulting plan rather than a maintenance-management plan. It is designed for aircraft owners who prefer to manage their maintenance and maintain relationships with their trusted shops and mechanics, but would still like impartial, trusted, and expert advice when they need it.  As a SavvyQA client:

  • We are here to help when you ask for help, but stay out of your hair when you don’t. With SavvyMx, we assume you want our help with everything – from maintaining maintenance records to scheduling your annual inspections.
  • We communicate strictly with you to provide you with our best guidance, recommendations, and opinions, including advice on what direction you should be giving to your shop or mechanic.  In contrast, for SavvyMx clients, we communicate directly to the shop/mechanic.
  • When you seek Savvy’s assistance, we assign your question to the most knowledgeable Savvy expert for guidance. SavvyMx clients connect with one dedicated account manager.
  • We are ready to review an estimate, invoice, or logbook entry at your request but do not do so unless you ask us to.

SavvyQA includes all the services of SavvyAnalysis plus unlimited consulting with our technical team. As a SavvyQA client, you also have access to our 24/7/365 rapid-response breakdown assistance service.

I am already a SavvyQA client, do I need to enroll in SavvyAnalysis?
No, you don’t. SavvyQA includes all the services of SavvyAnalysis plus unlimited consulting with Savvy’s team of A&P/IA technical experts.

Don’t need everything SavvyQA offers?

Utilize our on-demand advanced software diagnostics and request expert human analysis of your engine monitor data and borescope images for an unparalleled understanding of your plane’s health with SavvyAnalysis. With SavvyAnalysis, you forgo the unlimited consulting available with SavvyQA.

As a SavvyAnalysis client, you can upgrade to SavvyQA at any time, and will automatically receive pro-rata credit for any unused portion of your SavvyAnalysis subscription fee.
