Audits in aviation play a vital role to assure compliance, a good level of implementation of procedures throughout each organisation and continous improvement.
airsight conducts tailored, independent and objective audits for its customers based on the ISO 19011 provisions for Management System Audits. For that airsight maintains a pool of qualified and certified inhouse aviation auditors.
Our audits allow operators of all aviation branches to receive an external and independent assessment of their regulatory compliance (ICAO, EASA, national rules) as well as their level of conformity with their own procedures.
Furthermore, airsight auditors may be deployed to conduct supplier audits during or before subcontracting of relevant activities.

System Audits
Receive an independent and reliable status-quo on the level of compliance of your Management System
Operators in aviation across Europe need to foresee a formal process to monitor compliance of the organisation with the relevant requirements. At the same time, the independence of the compliance monitoring needs to be ensured, meaning, that the compliance function cannot audit itself.

Typically, in the first step airsight will perform a desktop audit using all provided client’s documentation (Manuals, Standard Operating Procedures, Records) to have a basic system understanding and collect initial items to be verified in the second step – the on-site audit.
A comprehensive audit report and management summary will be provided by the airsight auditors.

Supplier Audits
airsight supports its clients with assessing supplier performance before and during sub-contracting
Our experts conduct supplier audits on behalf of our clients to verify the compliance with any service level agreement or contracts between the parties.
Furthermore, the audit aimed to assess the operator's compliance with key regulations and guidelines, prioritizing safety and operational efficiency. Additionally, we provide our clients with an external and independent feedback on the quality performance of their sub-contractors.
Generally, supplier audits shall be initially conducted before a service is executed by a subcontractor and after that in regular intervals.
The audits are documented in form of an audit report which highlights findings, observations as well as recommendations and positive items. The audit report will also serve as evidence for Civil Aviation Authorities as part of the operator’s compliance management system.
