What Verdica's 850 score means for BEAN DALE R
BEAN DALE R holds Verdica's highest composite score: 850 out of 850, placing the entity in the "excellent" band (800–850). This score reflects a clean regulatory profile across all three measurable dimensions tracked by Verdica's system: certificate standing, FAA enforcement history, and service difficulty reports.
A score in this band indicates that, based on available FAA airworthiness certificates and enforcement records, there are no flagged compliance gaps or regulatory concerns indexed in the underlying data. This does not mean the entity is immune to future issues or that no customer complaints exist elsewhere—Verdica notes that no independent customer reviews are currently indexed for this provider. Rather, it signals that the formal regulatory record maintained by the FAA shows no active violations, certificate suspensions, or patterns of enforcement action.
For a business owner or consumer evaluating aviation providers, a score of 850 suggests low regulatory risk based on publicly available FAA data. It may support confidence in working with this entity, but should be combined with other due diligence: direct reference checks, service agreements, insurance verification, and industry reputation research.
How the sub-scores break down
Certificate Standing (850/850): This sub-score reflects the status and scope of airworthiness certificates held by BEAN DALE R. A maximum score here means the entity's certificates are current, valid, and unrestricted. In aviation, certificate standing is foundational—lapses, limitations, or suspensions trigger immediate operational and reputational consequences. An 850 on this dimension indicates no known certificate deficiencies in the FAA's active records.
FAA Enforcement (850/850): This sub-score aggregates the entity's enforcement history, including warnings, civil penalties, airworthiness directives, and any formal compliance actions initiated by the FAA. A maximum score means no enforcement actions are recorded. In aviation, enforcement records are highly visible and persistent. Even minor infractions—missed inspections, incomplete maintenance logs, or procedural violations—typically lower this score. An 850 indicates a clean enforcement slate.
Service Difficulty Reports (850/850): This sub-score draws from the FAA's mandatory reporting system for in-service difficulties: mechanical failures, defects, or hazardous conditions discovered during operations or maintenance. Operators and maintenance providers must report such issues, and patterns of recurring problems typically correlate with lower scores. An 850 suggests either minimal reported service difficulties or none indexed in the current dataset.
Together, these three scores paint a picture of regulatory alignment. None are zero or low; all three are at their maximum threshold.
What regulators in CA track for aviation providers
The FAA maintains two primary registries that feed Verdica's scoring: airworthiness certificates and enforcement records. Airworthiness certificates authorize aircraft or operators to conduct specific types of flight operations—commercial service, maintenance, charter, etc. The FAA issues these conditionally and can revoke, suspend, or limit them if safety or compliance standards slip.
Enforcement records capture the FAA's response to violations. These range from informal warnings (often resolved quickly) to civil penalties of thousands of dollars, operational restrictions, or criminal referrals in severe cases. Typical infractions include improper maintenance documentation, unqualified personnel, unsafe maintenance practices, and failure to comply with airworthiness directives.
Service Difficulty Reports (SDRs) are a public database of safety-related events. Mechanics, pilots, and operators file them when discovering defects or failures. The FAA uses SDR trends to identify systemic problems and issue airworthiness directives affecting entire aircraft models or systems.
In California specifically, the FAA's regional Flight Standards District Offices (FSDOs) oversee compliance. Scores can fluctuate if new enforcement actions, certificate changes, or SDR filings are added to the record.
Bottom line
BEAN DALE R's 850 score reflects an excellent regulatory standing with no current FAA enforcement actions or certificate issues on file. This is a positive signal for business consideration, but verify current insurance, liability coverage, and customer references independently—regulatory compliance is necessary but not sufficient for full due diligence.
