Vertical Aviation International (VAI) has signed up several companies in its Operational Risk and Resilience Accreditation (ORRA) program, which helps operators step up their safety programs with coaching assistance and a goal of continual improvement. VAI has teamed with VLinc to create an integrated ORRA team to help operators “go beyond traditional risk management and elevate their operational processes,” according to VAI.

“ORRA is designed to meet the diverse demands of small, medium, and large aviation operators, ensuring a robust yet flexible framework that empowers a trajectory of continuous growth, advancement, and safety improvement. This easy-to-start program meets operators at any stage of safety management system implementation and comes with a coach, so they’re always on a clear path of process improvement.”
