Weight and balance audits. Planned vs actual Ground-audit program. Are your airplanes, passengers, and crews safe? Address safety risks with specific recommendations for corrective action _______________________________________________________________ The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) Programme is an internationally recognized and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline. IOSA uses internationally recognised quality audit principles, and is designed so that audits are conducted in a standardised and consistent manner. Inherent in the IOSA Programme is a degree of quality, integrity and security such that mutually interested airlines and regulators can all comfortably accept IOSA audit reports. As a result, the industry will be in a position to achieve the benefits of cost-efficiency through a significant reduction in audit redundancy. With the implementation and international acceptance of IOSA, airlines and regulators will achieve the following benefits: • The establishment of the first internationally recognized operational audit standards • A reduction of costs and audit resource requirements for airlines and regulators • Continuous updating of standards to reflect regulatory revisions and the evolution of best practices within the industry • A quality audit programme under the continuing stewardship of IATA • Accredited audit organisations with formally trained and qualified auditors • Accredited training organisations with structured auditor training courses • A structured audit methodology, including standardized checklists • Elimination of audit redundancy through mutual acceptance of audit reports • Development of auditor training courses for the airline industry |
