An external audit of an aviation organization, such as ILENT, is a process where an independent party assesses the organization’s operational processes, procedures, and systems to ensure they comply with relevant standards, regulations, and best practices. This can be conducted by an external audit organization or by the aviation authorities themselves.
Here are some key aspects that may be examined during an ILENT external audit:
Safety Management System (SMS): Examination of the implementation and effectiveness of ILENT’s safety management system, including risk assessments, safety measures, and incident reporting.
Operational Procedures: Evaluation of ILENT’s operational procedures, such as flight preparation, flight operations, maintenance procedures, and emergency procedures, to ensure they comply with applicable regulations and standards.
Maintenance Programs: Verification of compliance with maintenance programs and procedures for aircraft and equipment, including inspections, maintenance planning, and maintenance activity records.
Training and Competency: Assessment of the training and competency of ILENT personnel, including pilots, technicians, and operational staff, to ensure they possess the required knowledge and skills.
Regulatory Compliance: Verification of compliance with national and international aviation regulations, such as those from EASA, FAA, and ICAO, as well as other relevant rules and standards.
Quality Management: Evaluation of ILENT’s quality management system, including internal audits, quality controls, and continuous improvement processes.
The purpose of an external audit is to ensure the operational safety, efficiency, and compliance of ILENT, and to identify and address any deficiencies or areas for improvement.
