The National Air Transportation Association is demonstrating its newly unveiled Safety 1st Fuel QC Management System (FQMS) this week at the 2018 NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference. A cloud-based digital tool for general and business aviation fuel quality management inspections, it replaces the traditional pen-and-paper record keeping process with an intelligent system that increases management visibility, employee accountability, and operational safety. A date/time stamping feature enables managers to verify where and when inspections were performed, increasing team accountability, while the digital storage allows access to all quality-control records.
"As an association that works to continuously enhance safety best practices and provide value to its members, NATA is pleased to offer [the system], an important advancement in fuel quality mangement," said association president Martin Hiller. “The Safety 1st FQMS enables FBOs and other fuel providers to leverage technology to increase efficiency and visibility into their fuel quality management efforts and affords Part 135, Part 91, and Part 91K operators the ability to remotely audit fuel quality control.”
The product is offered to NATA members at an "affordable" monthly rate, according to the association, "making it available to even the smallest FBO." At the show, NATA representatives will also discuss the organization's recent launch of the Supplemental Safety Training Program, an initiative aimed at helping the association rapidly respond to urgent safety issues.
