AviationManuals and sister company ARC Safety Management are offering a new FAA Part 135 suite of services covering operational manual content, SMS development and digital management tools.

The new offering, tailored specifically to FAA Part 135 operators, is now available and makes compliance with Part 135 document requirements and third party audit standards easier. It can be purchased as a complete package, or by module. Operators simply complete a questionnaire to get started.

The service includes operations manual content and revision support, as well as digital manual distribution and tracking tools online and via app. It also includes SMS software with tools for collecting, analysing and monitoring SMS data, effective communication and change management, online and through an iPad app. Teams will always have access to what they need, when they need it, with ARC Safety Management digital solutions, even on the go without Wi-Fi.

“As charter operations face new challenges and changes to procedures driven by new requirements, best practices and new customer demands, the ability to maintain policies and procedures, and quickly and effectively communicate changes to their teams will be critical,” says AviationManuals and ARC Safety Management CEO Mark Baier. “Part 135 department managers are already busy. The new Part 135 suite offering means that they will no longer have to spend as much time managing and distributing their documentation, since we will provide content and digital distribution. On top of that, our ARC SMS software will help operators manage change, risk and safety data better by automating those tasks.”

Included in the package are: ARC Safety Management System software and manuals; general operations manual; general maintenance manual; international operations procedures manual; minimum equipment list; emergency response plan; LOA support services; EFB programme; electronic manual programme; flight attendant manual; and training manual.
