ACSF Industry Audit Standard Gains Momentum

Alexandria, VA, June 10, 2009 — Support for the Air Charter Safety Foundation’s (ACSF) Industry Audit Standard is growing within the industry. Since the program became available earlier this year, the Industry Audit Standard (IAS) has experienced rapid growth that has put the IAS on the path toward fulfilling its goal of being the single measure of safety and compliance for air charter and shared aircraft ownership companies.

IAS Sets The Standard
The ACSF Industry Audit Standard is the only audit program on the market today that comprehensively evaluates both an operator’s Safety Management System (SMS) and its Part 135 regulatory compliance. The IAS is designed to position an operator, through a single audit, to gain world-wide recognition of its SMS program. The IAS is also the only program that evaluates operators every 24 months rather than annually, minimizing the administrative burden on operators and program managers.

 

Operators Have Embraced IAS
Beginning with the first full ACSF audit, conducted at Jet Solutions, LLC, industry support has only grown. Last March, ACSF was pleased to announce it reached an agreement with Executive Jet Management to be the exclusive provider of independent audits for their charter vendors. At this time, there are more than 30 audits scheduled over the next 12 months and new operators are contacting ACSF to learn more and schedule their own audit.

Auditors Have Joined With ACSF
ACSF audits are managed by the foundation and performed by companies whose auditors have completed ACSF IAS training. All audits are scheduled with ACSF, which then assigns an audit company to complete the IAS. These well-respected and established aviation audit firms have joined with ACSF:

  • BlackBird Aero Services
  • CharterX/Wyvern
  • Morten, Beyer & Agnew
  • R. Dixon Speas Associates
  • Simat, Helliesen & Eichner, Inc. (SH&E)

ACSF Launches Registry Database
When the operator successfully completes the IAS, the ACSF recognizes them as an IAS Registered Operator. These operators are provided with the IAS Registered Operator logo to use on their Web site and marketing materials. Access to the registry to verify an operator’s status and confirm key details is available at acsfdev.com/registry.
