The International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) has teamed up with flight department consultancy Aviation Safety Solutions (AVSS) to offer an online International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) Protocol Standardization (IPS) course. Developed for business aircraft operators, safety managers, and auditors, the course provides an overview of IS-BAO in a user-friendly, self-paced format, IBAC said.
The course reviews each IS-BAO section with explanations for each protocol requirement, IBAC said. Users can complete the course in seven hours but can stop and start as needed with access to the content for up to 12 months after first log-in. IPS is accessible through the IS-BAO Training and Resources webpage and through Aviation Safety Solutions IPS course registration.
Now available to business aviation professionals online, the course is expected to be folded into IS-BAO workshops in the future.
“This co-developed course with AVSS was formed out of a mutual passion for delivering best practices for business aviation operations, including education and training programs for operators and auditors,” said Andrew Karas, IS-BAO program director. “We look forward to sharing this new tool with the industry.”
An IS-BAO auditor, AVSS provides a range of safety services and guidance.
