UAS Safety Audits

Utilities / Aviation Specialists, Inc. (UAS) has specialized in safety audits for the global fixed and rotor wing aircraft industries since 1985. UAS employs a staff of some of the industry’s most experienced personnel in a variety of industries including: pilots, A&P mechanics, safety management system/cultural specialists, and professional accident investigators. 

UAS handpicks an audit team for each project to ensure the highest experienced industry experts are deployed to fulfill the audit scope.

Though the audit scope will vary based on customer requests and industry specific practices, a typical audit consists of a review of:

  • Culture: the presence of a positive safety culture throughout the organization
  • Management: the direct and/or indirect actions and policies of those in supervisory positions throughout the organization
  • Flight Operations: the actual conduct of flight operations including: pilots, pilot training, aircraft, supplemental equipment, procedures, dispatch, and flight following
  • Maintenance Operations: the actual conduct of aircraft maintenance including: technicians, technician training, facilities, tools and equipment, procedures, and parts management and procurement
  • Safety Management Systems: the implementation and execution of safety management systems including: policies, risk management, safety/quality assurance, and safety promotion
  • Compliance with all applicable regulations under the governing body (ICAO, FAA, Transport Canada, CAA, CASA, and/or others)

The final report for each audit compares existing operations and performance against applicable regulatory requirements and accepted industry standards and best practices. It also provides recommendations for improvements and corrections as applicable.
