The Air Charter Safety Foundation is pleased to announce the Industry Audit Standard.
The ACSF Industry Audit Standard has been developed with the input and guidance of leading safety auditors, charter operators, shared aircraft ownership companies and charter consumers.
The ultimate goal of the Industry Audit Standard is for charter operators and shared aircraft ownership management companies to complete one comprehensive audit on a recurrent basis rather than the multiple audits they currently complete.
The Industry Audit Standard is a revolutionary program built from the ground up by ACSF to set the standard for the independent evaluation of an air charter operator’s and/or shared ownership company’s safety and regulatory compliance. It was crafted to alleviate the substantial costs and redundancies associated with today’s auditing environment – where operators are subject to multiple audits every year that consume precious resources.
With the deployment of the ACSF Industry Audit Standard, the charter consumer can be assured that audited and registered operators are compliant with the highest standards of safety and compliance. Participating independent auditors will be accredited by the ACSF.
Operator and customers alike can be assured of the integrity of the program because becoming audit registered requires the review and approval of the on-site auditor(s) recommendations by an independent review board.

Operator's Pre-Audit Self Assessment Checklist
Prior to scheduling an on-site audit, operators will be required to conduct a pre-audit self
assessment checklist. Once it is completed, the operator may schedule an audit. Please contact ACSF at
audit@acsf.aero or 888-SAFE-135 to request the self assessment and initiate your audit process.
