Independent Aviation Safety Consultancy

Independent perspective. Operational understanding.

STRATUS brings together experience from the flight deck, airport operations, safety education, and regulatory consulting to solve risk where it actually lives: in the operation.

Our purpose

Safety practices people can put to work.

Our purpose is to help aviation organizations turn safety requirements into practical operational improvements. We connect structured assessment with tailored guidance, training, and implementation planning within an agreed advisory scope.

Knowledge transfer is part of that approach: helping the people responsible for safety understand the reasoning behind recommendations and how to apply them in their own environment.

How STRATUS began

Between the standard and the operation, there must be understanding.

STRATUS grew from founder and principal consultant Gabriel Bernardo Liberman's firsthand experience across aviation: flight operations, airport and cargo operations, frontline leadership, instruction, course development, and regulatory consulting in Brazil, Canada, and the United States.

Working from the cockpit to the ramp—and from the classroom to regulatory implementation—revealed a recurring gap. Organizations may have standards, manuals, and procedures in place, yet still need help translating them into decisions that work under real operational pressure.

Incorporated in Oklahoma in January 2026, STRATUS was created to close that gap: independent expertise that connects compliance with human performance, infrastructure, organizational learning, and the realities of day-to-day aviation.

Who we are

Technical depth.
A ground-level view.

Gabriel holds a postgraduate degree in Aviation Safety and Continuing Airworthiness from Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA) and a bachelor's degree in Civil Aviation from Universidade Anhembi Morumbi. He holds commercial pilot credentials issued by ANAC, the FAA, and Transport Canada.

His experience includes flight operations as First Officer on the Beechcraft King Air C90GTx, international ferry operations, air cargo coordination at Guarulhos International Airport, leadership roles in Canadian airline ground operations, flight simulation instruction, and aviation training programs aligned with ANAC and FAA frameworks.

STRATUS applies this operational perspective through a scoped assessment, practical recommendations, implementation support, and follow-up on the effectiveness of agreed controls. Explore our services and approach.

Research & perspective

Learning from the operation—and looking ahead.

Gabriel's 2021 postgraduate capstone project examined the use of artificial intelligence for fatigue detection in aviation professionals. That continuing interest in emerging risk, human performance, and practical prevention informs STRATUS's forward-looking approach to safety. This academic research informs our perspective on human performance and prevention.
