HELICOPTER MAINTENANCE, FIELD
While interviewing personnel allow them to explain how their system works. Try not to lead or prime them. This is not an interrogation so there can be periods of uncomfortable silence. Many of the questions are not related to specific contractual requirements, but instead emphasize Safety Management best practices as defined in the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS‐BAO). By measuring both areas we can get a sense of how the contract is being complied with while in action and ultimately how safe the operations will be executed. This audit is not meant to be a re‐carding of the aircraft. Essentially what you want to do is find out for the various areas being investigated, "What" is being done. This can include finding out "When" or how often is it supposed to be done? "Who" is responsible for getting it done? And "How" is it to be done, with emphasis on determining whether there is a formal or informal process, since formal processes increase the likelihood of successful performance. Then the most important question "Is it being done?" If not, why?
Finally, the audit should not be used as a "witch‐hunt", or "gotcha". Instead use it as a process to help vendors improve how they operate and to improve how we provide oversight.
The first column in the charts below provide reference material. Items in Blue ‐ represent IS‐BAO 2012 references, items in Red ‐ represent Contract requirements. Contract references provided are from the Large Fire Support Solicitation AG‐024B‐
S‐11‐9001. The majority of items audited have a 14 CFR requirement which are incorporated by reference in the contract. The "N/A" column provides the same information with BP ‐ indicating an IS‐BAO Best Practice, and a CR ‐ Contract Requirement. For the most part if the "N/A" column has one of these annotations, then either the "Yes" or "No" column should be checked.
Contact Gil Elmy, (801‐620‐1875) for any recommendations for improving this checklist.
