Argus International has established a new safety standard that’s customizable to Part 91 operations of various sizes, the Denver-based business aviation audit organization announced yesterday. The Argus Operator Assessment, AOA:91000, uses the Argus Standard to evaluate private operators’ flight departments, assessing components such as scheduling, safety management, flight operations, and aircraft maintenance.
Argus senior v-p Mike McCready said the new standard was created to address and improve a missing piece in business aviation safety. “Our customers operating privately asked Argus for a safety assessment that fits their exact needs for domestic and international operations,” he explained. “The Argus Pros team built AOA:91000 specifically to meet the evaluation needs of our customers, making sure it is scalable, fitting all operator sizes.”
Founded in 1995, Argus International is a provider of aviation data, software, audits, and certification services with a focus on safety management systems.
