	Audits A comparison between how it is and how it should be.

Airline audit

An Airline audit is amongst others performed in case of code sharing or wet-lease. Wet-lease is normally based on a so-called ACMI agreement. The abbreviation stands for Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance. These matters are taken care of by the lessor. All other matters have to be taken care of by the lessee.

The lessee has the obligation to convince himself that the lessor meets all legal requirements and must therefore perform an audit.

EU-OPS audit

EU-OPS is the legislation which is the basis for the safe flight operation within the operating area of the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. EU-OPS contains the requirements for holders of an Air Operator Certificate (AOC).

AviationAudits.nl is able to perform all audits, which are mandatory for AOC holders. This makes it possible to relief capacity shortages within your Quality Assurance department or to hire expertise which is not available.

EASA Part-M audit

EASA Part M contains the legislation for Continuing Airworthiness. Expressed in a simple manner are these the rules which prescribe how to keep an existing aircraft airworthy. EASA Part-M regulates the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation and its activities.

We can perform your Part-M.A.G and Part-M.A.I audits.

We can also perform your Airworthiness Reviews. This must however be based on your Part-M.A.I approval.

EASA Part-145 audit

EASA Part-145 contains the legislation for maintenance companies. This legislation is closely related to Part-66 (certifying staff) and Part-147 (training organisation requirements).

Aircraft maintenance is divided in line-, base- and component maintenance.

AviationAudits.nl has extensive experience with Part-145 and is accepted by Dutch and Icelandic authorities to perform Part-145 Form-4 Quality Management.

Ground Operations audit

An airline has to incorporate all aspects of the operation in its Quality Assurance Programme. This obligation is based of OPS 1.035(b). Approximately half of the flights is carried out from an outstation. It is obvious that also the performance of the usually contracted handling companies is verified by means of an audit.

A Ground Operations audit exists of three components; Ramp Handling, Passenger Handling and Operations

De-icing/Anti-icing audit

De-icing/Anti-icing is a specialistic subject which usually is shortened to
de-icing. The execution of a de-icing audit demands thorough knowledge of legislation, fluids, aerodynamics and winter conditions.

Our de-icing / anti-icing audits are based on the AEA recommendations for de-icing / anti-icing of aeroplanes on the ground 25th edition, August 2010.

We also offer de-icing auditor training.
