After an audit by the IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) earlier this year, Duncan Aviation’s Flight Department received its Stage III SMS (Safety Management System) Certification.
For the purposes of SMS, the company has to apply for two different certifications: One for the flight department, which schedules and flies in-house business flights and charter flights and provides pilot services, and one for the repair station side of the business, which involves maintenance, paint, avionics, engines, etc.
Duncan Aviation is currently implementing an SMS on the repair station side of the business.
