Make maintenance easier, faster and more transparent

That’s the whole mission. Everything about how we run, from the honest quotes to the owner portal, follows from it.

THE FOUNDERS

Greg and Tom met in college. One went on to fly as an Army test pilot, the other to drive fast-attack submarines as a Navy officer. Both trades run on checklists, documentation and zero surprises.

When they got out, they found GA maintenance running on none of those. Fourth Front is the shop they wished existed: honest quotes, photographed findings, straight communication, and invoices that make sense.

FLIGHT TEST AS A SERVICE · KSMO HANGAR 1

Flight test as a service, run from the same Hangar 1 flight line as our Santa Monica shop. Customers buy access to flight test data and Wellman does the rest: aircraft modification, FAA interface, test planning, and the flying. The fleet today is a King Air 350ER and two Mobius optionally piloted testbeds, and it is growing.
