ACSF Industry Audit Standard

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:17:03 GMT

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...
