The International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) is a voluntary code of best practice developed by and for the business aviation industry. It advocates the adoption of a scalable Safety Management System (SMS) to help business aircraft operators - from single aircraft operations to multi-aircraft flight departments - identify and manage potential risks.
But now the voluntary is becoming a requirement. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) will soon require an SMS to be incorporated into the national safety regulations for operators of non-commercial aircraft over 12,500 pounds maximum take-off weight or turbojet-powered aircraft. This is not yet finalised for Europe - but it will happen, so plan ahead now.
Bermuda and the Cayman Islands DCAs have already announced a requirement for business jet operators to meet the IS-BAO standard. Air Safety Support International (ASSI) has supported the IS-BAO standard for introduction into all of the UK Overseas Territories as a suitable means of compliance with the OTARs (Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements).
As an accredited International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) auditor of IS-BAO, we can advise you on how to implement the internationally recognised IS-BAO standard and comply with the new requirements.
We also offer an accredited audit service for companies ready to register their IS-BAO standard with IBAC.
Advice and auditing are kept strictly apart, so if we advise you, we can’t audit you!
