.
For all aviation activities, other than scheduled airline travel, only aircraft operators and aircraft types approved for use by an aviation adviser should be used.
.
Contracted aircraft are to be operated only by aircrew, and maintained by engineers, meeting specified minimum qualifications, and experience and currency requirements.
.
Aircraft operators are to meet company insurance requirements.
.
Specific operational restrictions may be applied, taking account of the contractor and local environment; amongst these will be the requirement to operate to public transport standards and to meet published aircraft performance criteria.
.
The decision to use aircraft should be weighed against the alternatives of using other forms of travel, taking full account of operational, economic and, above all, safety implications.

2 Aviation operation review requirements
2.1 Contracted air operators
Any aircraft operator invited to tender should be reviewed and accepted in accordance with the rel-evant procedures of the OGP member company. Subsequently, all such operators should be reviewed on a regular basis, at a frequency determined by risk, exposure, usage and performance of the air operation on the previous review, and should not be used without a current acceptance.
.
All ongoing/long-term operations (those exceeding one year in length) should be subject to initial and thereafter annuals reviews.
.
Start-up operations or those with a high level of activity may require more frequent oversight.
2.2 One-time acceptances
Operators used for ad-hoc charter flights are also subject to an on-site review. Should this not be practical, an exceptional “one time acceptance” based solely on documentation provided by the oper-ator may be given subject to certain criteria being met and accepted by the OGP member company. It must be recognised that such a one-time acceptance provides less assurance about the safety of the operation and the contractor’s suitability for the proposed task. Aircraft operators receiving a “one time acceptance” should not be used subsequently until they are subjected to a full review as explained above.
2.3 Principles of review
The purpose of an OGP Member Company review of an aircraft operator is to determine the suita-bility as an aircraft operator in terms of safety and capability and, where appropriate, to make recom-mendations for improvements. The OGP member company interfaces such as owned/maintained assets (airfields, passenger services, flight following, helidecks, refuelling equipment, scheduling arrangements, etc.), should also be reviewed.
Reviews must be carried out in accordance with defined terms of reference. The standards applied will be those established by the OGP member company, except where the requirements of the National Aviation Regulations of the air operator concerned are more restrictive or otherwise exceed the standards specified by the OGP member company. A review report will be delivered to the customer, typically by the end user within the OGP member company, within an agreed period after the review debrief.
