ARG/US Enhance PRISM Programme
Source: fly-corporate.com
 ARG/US have released a new enhanced user interface for the PRISM (Professional Resources in Safety Management) programme to fully comply with the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) requirements for Safety Management Systems (SMS).
The ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS) found in Annex 6, Part 2 now specify that an SMS requirement be incorporated into national safety regulations for operators of non-commercial aircraft (i.e. FAR Part 91) over 12,500 pounds maximum takeoff weight or turbojet powered aircraft. The compliance date for these standards is November 2010. Annex 6 Part 1 of the ICAO SARPS required compliance beginning on January 1, 2009 for commercial operators (i.e. FAR Part 135). ICAO has recognised IS-BAO as a code of practice to meet the new Annex 6 standards. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) also proposes to recognise IS-BAO as a means of compliance with its new non-commercial operating regulations and SMS requirements. Additionally, the UK Overseas Territories have recognised IS-BAO registration as the preferred means of complying with their non-commercial operating rules and SMS requirements.
