Through a business-oriented approach, an SMS is an explicit, comprehensive and proactive process for managing safety risks. SMS compliance can be achieved by registering to the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operators (IS-BAO), a highly recognized code of best practices fostering a high level of safety and professionalism.
Option 1 - File for IS-BAO registration
ACASS can assist business aircraft owners and operators to achieve their SMS objectives by guiding them through a structured 5-step process to file and prepare for the IS-BAO audit. Our gap analysis, with IS-BAO standards as the benchmark, will identify the solutions to implement, including a comprehensive SMS. We support you through the entire process to ensure all criteria to successfully obtain the registration are met.
Option 2 - Fly under ACASS operation

This transitional service is designed to help an organization comply with SMS standards while minimizing disruption and cost.
