Maintaining safety margins while getting the job done — an independent look at how your flights really operate.
Standalone operational assessments are independent evaluations for established operators or their clients, such as resorts, mining companies, and oil and gas producers, who depend on an aviation service provider and need to know it can deliver the level and efficiency of service their project requires. Each assessment can be contracted separately or bundled with the others into a comprehensive package.
Flight operations is where every promise the company makes gets kept or broken. This assessment evaluates whether the operation has the capacity, procedures, and discipline to deliver its schedule safely day after day.
What the assessment covers
- Capacity — the type and number of suitable aircraft resources measured against the operational commitment.
- Applicability of the flight operations manuals and standard operating procedures to the operation actually being flown.
- Flight crew and cabin crew standards, qualifications, and scheduling — including selection standards and initial, recurrent, and proficiency training.
- Quality of crew and passenger safety briefings, and crew checklist usage in daily operations.
- Minimum equipment list (MEL) compliance.
- Records adequacy — and the accuracy of accident, incident, and near-miss reporting systems and their analysis.
What you receive
A comprehensive report with findings and prioritized recommendations, benchmarked against international standards and the realities of the operating environment. Every assessment draws on the IATA Aviation Safety Management Diploma, IATA accreditation as a safety and quality auditor, and more than twenty airline and operator audits completed worldwide.
Once the assessment is complete, I can help develop and implement your company’s scope of work — so you get the realistic level of aviation service your project requires. Your team can concentrate on the task at hand: catering to tourists, producing oil, laying pipelines, or mining minerals.
