The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF.aero) announces that the Associated Aircraft Group (flyaag.com), based in Wappingers Falls, New York, has renewed its status on the ACSF Industry Audit Standard registry.

According to ACSF, the ACSF Industry Audit Standard (IAS) is the first and only extensive audit program specifically created for on-demand operators by a committee of Part 135 and 91K industry leaders. It is conducted every 24 months and is in-depth in its evaluation of regulatory compliance and the operator’s Safety Management System (SMS), against both Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and international standards.

ACSF President Bryan Burns congratulated the aviation company on its successful IAS renewal. “The Associated Aircraft Group has once again demonstrated its continued commitment to high standards by renewing its status on the IAS Registry,” he said.

“The Associated Aircraft Group recognizes the critical importance of providing the highest level of aviation safety,” noted John Gow, the company’s president. “We’ve built our corporate culture around continuous improvement of our safety systems, and we use the ACSF audit as a benchmark that we strive to elevate each time our company is evaluated.”
