Larry Williams is an accredited auditor for International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO).  IS-BAO is a voluntary "best practices" for business aviation operators.  It involves the adoption of safety management systems (SMS), formalized organizational and personnel training, and the creation and use of operational manuals and emergency response plans. The standards are aimed at creating a safety awareness culture among operators.  IS-BAO standards are adopted voluntarily by companies desiring to enhance their safety and security practices and professionalism.  The compliance date for ICAO’s Annex 6 Part II is November, 2010.  The Annex contains standards and recommended practices for international operators of large aircraft and business.  Many governments are accepting IS-BAO registration by recognizing that it meets the ICAO annex standards.  We have extensive auditing experience in international aviation operations and use this expertise in obtaining the IS-BAO registration for your company.  For further information concerning IS-BAO go to the IBAC website at www.ibac.org.
