That pilot had reached out to my host at Acme with the message that they had just completed their own IS-BAO audit and were now staring at a handful of minor non-compliance comments resulting from inadequacies in their training versus the Standard. How had Acme Widgets avoided this? My host’s response to his buddy was to send him our phone number at Advanced Aircrew Academy. Cubs Win!! Cubs Win!! When we at Advanced Aircrew Academy are running the planet, the IS-BAO will provide a simplified and summarized list of all of its training requirements and recommendations. Until then, aviation operators are left to sort it out. Let’s start with the famous ‘Big Picture’ which, while obvious, isn’t for everybody. From the point of view of the IS-BAO and, therefore, of the auditor, training requires all of: (1) documented training content (that would be your training program), (2) getting the training, (3) documentation of the training that was received, and auditor testing to ensure that (4) the training has been effective; for example interviews and exam results. Items (2), (3), and (4) in that list are relatively straightforward, leaving the training program as the source of the majority of problems. In fact, the training program is the most challenging to codify out of the IS-BAO which, in my opinion, is due to a combination of the number of variables involved and the fact that the requirements are scattered around the IS-BAO documentation in the Standards themselves, in the protocols, and in the Guidance Material (GM).https://www.aircrewacademy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/media_rokgallery_e_eaf3dd75-0486-4837-8834-65fad4d18393_153398e7-96b5-4ef3-9f0b-c4931550a6e0.jpg200198
