4.1 Contractual
4.1.1 Contract management – Aviation Advisor support
In the early stages of planning a new venture where air transport is being considered, the involve-ment of an Aviation Advisor has proved invaluable in determining the optimal solution for aviation transport requirements. In such cases, Aviation Advisor representation on the scouting team pro-vides the necessary expertise to evaluate influencing factors such as terrain, distances, climate, SAR facilities, and make timely recommendations including advice on design criteria for remote airfields or for helipads or helidecks. In remote and developing areas, a considerable lead time (typically a minimum of six months) may be required to ensure availability of suitable aircraft operated by an approved contractor.
For longer-term contracts and contract renewal, advice should also be sought from the Aviation Advisor on the detailed contract terms to ensure that individual OGP Member’s standards are included in the contract.
Where the air support requirements on a contract are particularly complex or extensive in their scope, consideration should be given to appointing a professionally qualified aviation supervisor for the specific operation.
All OGP Member’s using aircraft should have a nominated Air Operations Supervisor (AOS) focal point, responsible for overseeing aviation activities in accordance with the advice laid down in this manual. Advice is available at all times from the nominated Aviation Advisor, and this advice is sup-plemented by the “Guidance to Air Operations Supervisors” booklet issued by the OGP.
4.1.2 The role of the Air Operations Supervisor (AOS) focal point
Those responsible for the supervision of air transport within OGP Member’s business units typically range from Heads of Aircraft Services, who may be qualified pilots or professional aircraft main-tenance engineers to others, with no previous knowledge of aviation. Other variations include EP ventures, where the Operations Manager, Logistics Manager, or a member of their staff, looks after air transport support, often in conjunction with other responsibilities.
