Operations
The Operations Team audited 21 specialty area elements in accordance with the provisions of the Inspection and Audit Manual to ensure that Acme Aero operations conform to the requirements of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), associated standards and company control manuals. In addition to a comprehensive review of company documentation, control procedures and management personnel qualifications, the audit team conducted a series of in-flight and ramp inspections.
Deficiencies were noted in nine specialty areas resulting in sixteen audit findings. Most of these represent deficiencies in administrative procedures and guidelines that are to be specified in the company control manuals, specifically the Company Operations Manual, the Flight Attendant Manual and the HS-748 Minimum Equipment List.
The areas requiring immediate attention are: the flight crew training programs, which currently lack some essential elements; flight crew training records, which require a detailed system to ensure flight crews have met all training requirements; and procedures to monitor and report on CCP activities. The company will also want to review the HS-748 MEL and the MCM which currently contain conflicting procedures
The above deficiencies notwithstanding, the review revealed that Acme Aero Limited is conducting a safe operation and that a knowledgeable, competent management team has been assembled to oversee a staff and crews that have the ability and desire to operate within the regulatory framework. The company’s response upon learning of any deficiency was immediate and indicative of Acme Aero’s focus on safety.
