I am a fairly inexperienced FSO working for Aerial work helicopter company that does Firefighting, police and ambulance service.

In trying to make a checklist/questionnaire to help me audit the company bases, and working personnel (Crew, maintenance, etc..).

I would appreciate advice and help on how perform this kind of audit and examples of checklists or questionnaires.

I got some info on Appendice D of http://www.aigaviation.com/doc/GAIN%20-%20Flight%20Safety%20Handbook.pdf but it is to much airliner related.

Thanks in advance and appreciate all the help possible

Hi Zbit - you might find it useful to logon to the IATA website/audits etc. I have just completed an IOSA course. Not sure about helicopters but its definitely worth a look in that area. Good luck.;)

:ok: Thanks skyfluff for your information. I will take a look.

Hi there,

I conduct IOSA audits and don't think that such a checklist will really be applicable to your type of operation. It's very, very airline specific, and will drive you to drink! The format is however, excellent.

What may be useful however, are the (CAA / Transport Canada / FAA, etc) regulatory audit type checklists. These cover country specific regulatory compliance, and are pretty comprehansive. I'm sure the respective authority will be happy to help with this info.

Shell, BP, TEXCO, etc... (the big Offshore guys) have very good audit divisions, and may be willing to share their checklits. That may be worth trying.

Cheers,

You are right Pitch&Fan (http://www.pprune.org/members/179350-pitch-and-fan), the IOSA was a good try but like you said it is to much airliner. I will try to get some contact or web site of the authorities that you indicate.

Here is a link to Transport Canada's Audit Procedures Manual, it has check lists in it. It may give you some ideas.

Thanks IHL. :ok:
It is a very useful document the one that you point:

Thanks IHL.
I think the document will be very useful.
