THERE IS A READY-MADE SOLUTION –WHY RE-INVENT THE WHEEL?

�The International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO), developed and administered by the International Business Aviation Council is:– Designed for large and small operators alike à Flexible to meet

user needs– Suitable for both commercial and non-commercial operations– Easily tailored to meet the needs of helicopter operators– A professional safety code of industry best practice– Proven: Affordable: Effective– Implementation support available� Already recognized as a European Standard under CEN

IS-BAO Benefits�Safety and security

�Teamwork

�Demonstrates that you meet internationally recognized

best in class professional standards

No need for multiple audits

�Information sharing/standardization

�Corporate due diligence

�Meets NEW regulatory requirements (ICAO Standards)

�Confidence of regulators and customers

�Insurance

Implementing IS-BAO� Obtain IS-BAO from Member Association� Implement SMS and standards

– Commitment from “the top”– Safety Risk Profile and Gap Analysis– Strategy– Technical amendments– Ongoing hazard identification and analysis/ mitigation– Change management

� Audit– internal and/or external audits/ registration audit� Grow and mature SMS—Continuous evaluation process

– 3 stages of SMS demonstrates powerful & visible commitment to enhanced safety

� Accreditation audits demonstrate compliance with the standard

What is the IS-BAO (HE) ?

� A derivative tool to assist helicopter operators with the implementation of IS-BAO

� The core standard will be unchanged - CEN status remains

� The HE version will include AMCs, Guidance Material and a Helicopter Operations Manual template

� Helicopter Operators will be eligible for a certificate of registration on successful completion of a conformity audit by a third party IBAC accredited auditor– Their customers will only need to look at their

specific issues instead of each completing a full audit

What is the IS-BAO (HE) ?

� IBAC, HAI, EHA and BHA have committed to its development

� Steering Committee in place� Work Group led by Bob Sheffield is being

formed and starting work� Rules need to be drafted by operators for

operators

Bottom Line� IS-BAO really benefits all aspects of an

operation– Builds a positive safety culture– Improves management– Enhances Safety, Security and Efficiency

à Risks under control but prepared for the worst

– Reduces Insurance costs– Eliminates Nugatory audit

CONCLUSION�IS-BAO is just what our industry needs as a user

friendly and effective tool to raise the helicopter safety bar as the Press urges and the IHST seeks.

� The scheme is well established, proven and international in outlook and offers a model, with clear accreditation stages as organizations evolve, for the helicopter industry to adopt.

� If widely applied just as in business aviation it will deliver a major proportion of our safety goals

� It will eliminate nugatory audits allowing customers only to validate any requirement over & above the standard

� Partnership not kingdom
