Dassault Falcon’s
Teterboro Flight Operations Department was recently awarded the
International Standard for Business Aviation Operations (IS-BAO)
Registration. IS-BAO is the accepted standard of aviation flight
departments worldwide as the benchmark for safety and efficiency in
business aircraft.
“We undertook this process to underscore our commitment to
operational safety, maintenance and efficiency,” said Matt
Boyle, Senior Vice President at Dassault Falcon.
“Dassault is an ISO-9000 registered company so we were
already well aware of the benefits that standardization brings to
manufacturing and flying organizations. The IS-BAO recognition
brings an even higher level of excellence to our flight operations
department than ISO-9000 currently delivers.”
IS-BAO challenges flight departments to review their current
systems, programs and procedures, recognize strengths and
weaknesses in those procedures, and upgrade to a higher standard.
IS-BAO is similar to an ISO-9000 standard of practice, but
specifically formulated for the business aviation community.
Adopting the IS-BAO is
a self-guided process undertaken using guidance provided by the
organization. Implementation of the standard is then audited by an
approved ICAO audit team before registration is approved. Unlike
state regulations for commercial aircraft operations, adopting the
IS-BAO standard is a voluntary process designed to integrate all
the best safety and operating procedures from various sources. It
institutionalizes industry best practices and must be reviewed
every two years.
Dassault Falcon Jet Corp. is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Dassault Aviation, and is responsible for selling and supporting
Falcon business jets throughout North America, South America, and
the Pacific Rim countries of Asia (including China). It employs a
workforce of more than 2300 professionals who service, support and
meet the needs of
Falcon operators in the Western Hemisphere. Since the rollout of
the first Falcon 20 in 1963, over 1800 Falcon jets have been sold
to more than 65 countries worldwide. The family of Falcon jets
currently in production includes four tri-jets—the Falcon
50EX, 900DX, 900EX EASy, and the new 7X—as well as the
twin-engine Falcon 2000, Falcon
2000DX and Falcon 2000EX EASy.
