The International Business
Aviation Council (IBAC) introduced the IS-BAO program in 2002 to foster standardized,
safe and highly professional aircraft operations. IS-BAO International
Standard for Business Aircraft Operations is a code of best practice
intended to build upon the excellent safety record already established
by business aviation.
Flight Departments implementing
IS-BAO may wish to obtain a Certificate of Registration from IBAC, thus demonstrating
compliance to a recognized international standard. Certificates of Registration
are issued by IBAC to flight departments that have demonstrated compliance
through successful completion of a third party industry audit by an IBAC Accredited
Auditor.
R. Dixon Speas Associates
assisted flight departments to obtain an IS-BAO Certificate of Registration
in two ways:
-
Development and implementation
of the internal policies and procedures that qualified the department
for a Certificate of Registration
-
Completion of the
compliance audit required for the Certificate of Registration
To avoid conflicts of
interest, RDSA did not conduct certification audits of flight departments that
it had assisted to implement the required IS-BAO standards.
