Aviation Exposure · Executive Protection

A private jet is a public signal.

We show protection teams exactly how findable their principals are through the aircraft that carry them — so you can close the gap before someone else finds it.

What we do

We run the adversary's playbook against your principals — with your authorization — and hand you the map they would have drawn.

Private aviation is one of the most reliable ways to locate a high-profile individual, and the tools meant to prevent it are weaker than they appear. TailGlass measures that exposure precisely and reports it in language a protection team can act on.

01 · Exposure

How findable are they?

A clear-eyed assessment of how readily each principal can be located through their aircraft — and where the exposure is greatest.

02 · Pattern of life

The predictable moments.

Where routine becomes risk: the home bases, recurring routes, and timing that make movements anticipatable.

03 · Watch & warn

Know when it matters.

Ongoing monitoring that surfaces relevant movement quickly, with a recurring intelligence brief as the picture changes.

Measured, not asserted

In blind validation, our method put the correct aircraft at the top of the list every time.

GlobalCoverage, without regional gaps
Live + historyWhat's moving now, and where they've been
Blind-testedValidated against known aircraft, held back
Evidence-ledEvery finding carries its confidence

We validate against aircraft whose identity we already know, withheld from the method — so a result is a demonstrated hit, not a claim. When something can't be resolved, we say so. Overclaiming is a failure, not a feature.

Boundaries

The discipline is the service.

An adversary simulation earns trust by being rigorous about what it will and won't do. These are not caveats — they're the reason the work is defensible.

Authorized only

Conducted solely for the principal being protected, under engagement. Never directed at an uninvolved third party.

Open sources

Built on public signals and public records — the same material available to any adversary. Nothing is intercepted, breached, or obtained under false pretenses.

Private by design

Findings are held under restricted access and delivered to your team alone. Nothing is published or sold.

Human judgment

Every identification is a ranked hypothesis with its reasoning shown. People make the calls; we never assert a certainty we haven't earned.

If we can find your principal, so can they.

The difference is that we tell you first — and show you exactly which gaps to close.
