HOW TO GET STARTED
Achieving IS-BAO for your organization is not as complicated as some may think. There are only six-steps to registration and assistance is available from our Programme Support Affiliates.
Let’s get started!
Get Started
STEP 1: Purchase the IS-BAO Standard Document Suite. Members of one of the 15 business aviation IBAC member associations or HAI will receive a 25% discount off the retail cost of the document suite. Complete the Purchase FORM
STEP 2: Attend a Workshop - Attending an IS-BAO workshop by at least one company representative is required before receiving the Stage 1 initial registration. See workshop schedule here or contact us about hosting a workshop!
STEP 3: Conduct a gap analysis between your organization’s standards and procedures and those of the IS-BAO Programme.
STEP 4: Define and develop procedures to identify hazards and eliminate the quantified risk or reduce it to acceptable levels using a broad range of guidance material provided with the standard.
STEP 5: Integrate processes and procedures into department systems, programme operating procedures and manuals, using the materials provided in the document suite.
STEP 6: Complete an IS-BAO audit by selecting an accredited IS-BAO Auditor. Scheduling the audit should be done well in advance to accommodate schedules. Once the audit is completed and accepted successfully, the operator representative completes an approved IS-BAO registration form online, with payment, for 2-year or 3-year registration (does not include auditor or any PSA fees, if applicable). Then an official IS-BAO Registration certificate will be mailed to the operator with additional copies available for purchase.
Once operators reach this IS-BAO achievement, they can proudly display the certificate and have access to the official IS-BAO seal (Stage 2 and Stage 3 specific seals also available) to use in various communications that clearly identifies this quality accomplishment.
Want to learn and advance your understanding of the IS-BAO protocols? IBAC and Aviation Safety Solutions have co-developed a new online course that is designed for business aircraft operators, safety managers, and auditors seeking knowledge of the IS-BAO protocols through a user-friendly, self-paced format. Register and get access for 12-months.
