Standards The
International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) introduced the IS-BAO program
for many reasons. In many
business sectors, international standards are recognized for their role
in facilitating global commerce. IS-BAO is similar in this respect as
its fundamental purpose is to foster standardized, safe and highly professional
aircraft operations. IBAC
recognized the need for the business aviation community to take a lead
role in fostering harmonization of operating procedures and requirements.
IBAC works closely with the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) towards international standardization.
The President of the ICAO Council has endorsed the efforts of the
business aviation community in developing an industry 'code of best practice'.
IS-BAO incorporates the International
Standards and Recommended Practices for the Operation of Aircraft
applicable to business aviation
prescribed in ICAO Annex 6, Part II for International
General Aviation – Aeroplanes.
What is IS-BAO ?
IS-BAO
is a code of best practice. It
has been developed by the industry for the benefit of the industry. It is the industry’s contribution to promoting highly professional
operational practices. IS-BAO
is intended to build upon the excellent safety record already established
by business aviation.
How Flight Departments Can Apply IS-BAO ?
IS-BAO
is a voluntary standard. Companies that apply IS-BAO and subscribe to its amendment
service have no obligation in respect to its implementation.
Nevertheless, IBAC encourages widespread adoption of the standards
as a contribution by a responsive industry towards the objective of highly
professional and standardized flight operations worldwide.
