BARS Audit Services

The Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) program is a Flight Safety Foundation initiative developed from an industry-identified need. It was created to establish a common global aviation safety audit protocol that could be applied to on-shore resource sector aviation support activities. As a risk-based model framed against the actual threats posed to aviation operations, particularly
those found in challenging and remote environments, it directly links these risks to associated controls, recovery and mitigation measures.
