The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) has added a new layer to its Industry Audit Standard, rolling out IAS Lite, to offer a streamlined audit program for independent charter and non-commercial operators.

IAS Lite provides a means for operators to become ACSF-audit registered and achieve compliance with FAA Part 5 safety management systems (SMS). ACSF said the program was “meticulously crafted” to enable operators to achieve a higher level of safety management without the complexity and cost of more extensive audits.
