Common Audit Standard for Helicopter Operations Takes a Step Closer :  At the ILA Berlin Airshow on the 9th of June 2010, key figures from the helicopter and business aviation community signed an Agreement on the Development and Management of an IS-BAO (Helicopter Edition).

Motivated by a goal to improve the international helicopter accident rate, the new European Helicopter Association (on whose Board EHOC is represented), the Helicopter Association International (HAI), the British Helicopter Association (BHA) and the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) have reached a formal agreement to develop a code of best practices for helicopter operations based on the existing International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO); this agreement will lead to the proposal of options for a verification audit program to achieve an IS-BAO (Helicopter Edition) Certificate of Registration.
