The ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) is an all-encompassing aviation audit for Part 135 and Part 91 aircraft operators. As the name implies, it’s the most comprehensive industry audit available. And it’s designed for those who want to go above and beyond minimum requirements.
The IAS also gives aircraft owners and passengers peace of mind. When they see the ACSF Audit-Registered seal, they can rest assured that they’re flying on a safe aircraft with highly qualified crew who live and work within a “just culture.”
The ACSF IAS Pre-Audit checklist is a prerequisite for the IAS audit. It’s a gap-analysis tool that will help your team evaluate its practices with the ACSF standard. It also includes new information to comply with the FAR Part 5 and ICAO Annex 19.
