Safety Protocol

Airplanes

All of Exec 1’s aircraft, and the FBO are under the IS-BAO safety management system. IS-BAO is the most stringent certification in the industry, including over 800 audit points that require a 2-year process to complete.

Any operator we engage outside of Exec 1 Aviation must have a minimum of one of the top three safety certifications: AR/GUS, WYVERN, IS-BAO, or be part of the Exec 1 Aviation-Certified Safety Management System.

In addition, Exec 1 Aviation operates ONLY on a strict two pilot protocol, requiring two pilots on the flight deck for every Exec 1 Aviation flight.

Exec 1 Aviation was one of the first operators to obtain Wyvern Wingman Certified Pro status, a standard reserved for operators who continuously invest in their safety program to go above and beyond within the industry. Read about this accomplishment in detail here.

Pilots

All pilots must meet the stringent flight time requirements outlined by WYVERN, AR/GUS, IS-BAO, or be part of the Exec 1 Aviation-Certified SMS, verifying they have advanced experience in the type of aircraft they are operating.

Each pilot utilized by Exec 1 Aviation must hold a current FAA license, medical certificate and type-rating as required. Including being updated and current on the latest training certifications, which covers a flight review at minimum of every 12 months and an instrument proficiency check every 6 months.

In addition, exceeding FAA regulations, Exec 1 Aviation operates ONLY on a strict two pilot protocol, requiring two pilots on the flight deck for every Exec 1 Aviation flight.

Airports

All airports/FBO’s are monitored by Exec 1 Aviation prior to and during your flight by our Flight Operations Department. We also receive real time and on-the-ground updates from our pilots regarding current operating conditions. We ensure that all infrastructure and equipment are available and operational for your trip. Audits include: fuel, terminal, weather conditions, aircraft capabilities, equipment, hangars and available ground transportation.

Conditions

Condition assessments are foundational to our safety standards. We never leave condition assessment to interpretation. At Exec 1 Aviation every flight must abide by and defer to the situational condition rules and operational standards dictated via strict FAA protocols for conditions and equipment capabilities.

Passengers

Every Exec 1 Aviation client has a profile containing personal in-flight needs and special requests. These customer requirements are updated for every flight and recorded in their individual Exec 1 Aviation client profiles and communicated, confirmed and verified for every flight with our pilots and flight operations team.
