AVIATION RISK ASSESSMENT & MANAGEMENT FOR THE USER-COMMUNITY |
Operational and Technical Quality & Safety (Q&S) Reviews :
The AMS Group has conducted such ad-hoc reviews world-wide using checklists based on OGP Aviation Management Guidelines.
|
Continuous Surveillance Program :
Where an ad-hoc review reveals systemic non-compliance with industry standards as predicated by OGP guideline criteria, to ensure proper corrective action by an Operator, a systemic cycle of Reviews may be initiated comprising a mix of programmed Q&S reviews und unscheduled follow-on verifications.
|
Air Operations Site Surveillance:
If more intensive surveillance is deemed necessary, an Assessor may be retained permanently on-site for Q&S monitoring.
|
Aviation Support Services Management :
The ultimate Site Surveillance whereby air support operations are managed directly by the Company on behalf of the Client. sourcing & contracting services.
|
Contract Review :
The key to quality & safety in air support operations is in tight contracting with a precise operations specification detailed in the Exhibits to a Contract based on which, Operators participating in any associated Tender can make adequate cost provision and against which, in subsequent operations, their performance can be measured.
|
Tendering Assistance :
Contract Exhibits should be provided in the Tender process against which operators will submit competitive Bids. To facilitate objective assessment of these, AMS has developed a weighted matrix designed to ensure the selection of the optimum Bid and a subsequent cost-effective, quality operation.
|
Aviation SOP and ERP Review / Development :
Client Contract Operations Specifications define the type (SoW) and quality of the required Work from an aviation service provider. The Operator SOP shall define the method by which they will fulfill that requirement. This should be as a Contract-specific supplement to the Operator Operations Manual.
The Air Operator ERP shall detail policy and procedures for dealing with any emergency situations which may occur. In the early stages of any contract, this will need to be aligned with the Client ERP.
|
Independent Accident & Incident Investigation :
Incidents will occur. In a quality operation, proper investigation will ensure lessons learned are applied with a view to accident prevention. The use of experienced independent third parties will ensure objective conclusions free of any protective slant or internal politics.
In the event of an accident government and insurance investigating teams have very different perspectives. The former is litigative, the latter commercial. Neither is working in the interest of the end-user Client. This is the function of the independent third-party investigator. AMS has considerable experience of the conduct of such investigations on behalf of international OGP Majors, world-wide.
|
Airline, Aircraft & Operator Risk Analysis (RA) Studies :
Prevention is better than cure. The AMS Group has developed weighted matrices which score quality & safety indicators. For an Airline, where contracts are limited to single tickets or block-bookings, the contract value is deemed insufficient to open their doors to Quality & safety review by other than the Regulatory Authority. As such, RA studies are based on public sector information which, thanks to the internet, can be extensive. AMS Group has established a number of associated Safety Indicators which when entered into the weighted matrix, can be scored. For Charter operations, contract values are such as to allow Reviewers full access allowing a more precise measure of Safety criteria, hence a more definitive result. Using a different sets of criteria, weighted matrices may be used to assess the capability of different operators and/or aircraft types against specific tasking.

Helideck Configuration Design & Compliance Inspections :
Over a score of years, AMS Assessors have inspected several hundred helidecks world-wide. These can be against OGP or other Operator criteria. However, the in-house developed check-list based on UK CAP-437 guidelines is recommended as being simple yet comprehensive, thus highly user-friendly.
