The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) and the\nUnmanned Safety Institute have announced plans to develop and implement the\nInternational Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Remotely\nPiloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) auditor training program. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems are quickly\nbecoming part of existing business aviation operations, or as completely new\naviation programs for many companies around the world. In recognition of this growing segment within\nthe business aviation marketplace, IBAC is adapting its safety standard and\naudit program to ensure that it will be relevant and applicable to RPAS\noperations now and in the future. \nProfessionally trained and credentialed auditors will be critical to\ninternal and external assessments of RPAS programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe business aviation industry is filled with highly\nexperienced and knowledgeable operations and maintenance personnel coming from\ntraditional piloted aircraft backgrounds. However, the RPAS operational\nenvironment is relatively new with fewer industry experts,\u201d commented IS-BAO\nProgram Director Andrew Karas. \u201cAs with any successful safety program, well\ntrained and qualified auditors are essential. \nWe chose to partner with the Unmanned Safety Institute because of their\nexperience of educating, training, and certifying RPAS operators for 6 years,\nwith a recognized and respected program that has achieved over 11,000 USI\ncertifications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josh Olds, USI\u2019s President and CEO added, \u201cIBAC\u2019s globally\nrecognized IS-BAO and IS-BAH standards and audit programs are highly regarded\nby the business aviation community as they focus on building a culture that\npromotes continuous improvement in safety practices and risk mitigation. USI is proud to have been selected by IBAC to\ndevelop and implement a RPAS auditor training program that will ensure that the\nauditor\u2019s existing aviation background and expertise will be augmented with\nknowledge and awareness consistent with the evolving global RPAS marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the terms of this agreement, IBAC will require the\nRPAS auditor training as part of its auditor credentialing programs and provide\noversight of the development and implementation of the training program. USI will create the training program content\nincluding coursework materials and online learning management system that will\nallow a global implementation resulting in newly created co-branded digital\ncredentials for successful participants. \nThe program is scheduled for development and launch later in 2022. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
