As an auditor, your humble blog writer here can easily imagine the many practical reasons that operators might cite in explaining why they were not quite meeting the Standard for SMS training \u2013 demand (Just too busy!), changes in the organization (Fred retired and it fell through the cracks), and so on. Shame on us, because there is a convenient, uncomplicated, high-quality solution to this problem, and it is sitting right in front of you \u2013 the Advanced Aircrew Academy online SMS training course.<\/p>\n
The course meets the IS-BAO requirement. The course outline provides you with the detail you need to document it into your Safety Training Program. It\u2019s accessible to all your personnel online 24\/7. The overview of who is doing what training and when is available to your Training Manager 24\/7. The evaluation by exam and the completion of the training are automatically documented for you and sent to you. If you are already a client, we just add it to your program, most likely at no extra cost; if not, here is your opportunity to give us a try. In any case, if you have read this far, you now have no excuse for joining the ARGUS 61% club in 2014.<\/p>\n

ARGUS International is a widely recognized and respected player in the field of specialized aviation services, including, by way of its PROS subsidiary, on-site safety audits. Its ARGUS Platinum Standard is the IS-BAO, an International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations. Each year, ARGUS publishes a summary report of the audit results for the year just past, highlighting the recurring deficiencies they found during their audits of the previous year. The 2013 report is just out, summarizing the deficiencies found in the universe of 75 operators audited.<\/p>\n
Why this blog article from your favorite training provider, we know you are asking? Because the number two item cited in the summary of ARGUS PROS\u2019 audit findings during 2013 was \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 deficiencies in Safety Training. A whopping 61% of the total of all post audit recommendations in response to deficiencies had to do with Safety Training. These failures to meet the Standard related to Safety Training are centered in failures to adequately train in the operators\u2019 Safety Management System (SMS). Safety Managers are not getting the continuing education or SMS training they need to perform to the Standard. Individual employees \/ team members \/ personnel are not being adequately trained (or evaluated) on the operators\u2019 SMS. Documented Safety Training Programs\/Syllabus, including the education and training in SMS required by the Standard, were inadequate or did not exist.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s digress just for a moment and review the training fundamentals required by the IS-BAO. You must have a documented training program that describes the training required by the Standard (or by regulation, or by you, the operator). Personnel must get the training. The training experience must be documented. The training must be effective. That\u2019s it. As for SMS training, the IS-BAO requires those very same basics \u2013 but, 61% of ARGUS 2013 audits found deficiencies in meeting these fundamentals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[100,101,102],"class_list":["post-181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-isbao-training","tag-safety-management-systems-training","tag-sms-training"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":679,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181\/revisions\/679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aircrewacademy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
