Home FAQ's Benefits

Baldwin is all about safety. And saving time and money.

We've used our decades of operations experience to create flexible programs, including safetysherpa mentoring and support, that build confidence and credibility. We built our program based upon the core IS-BAO standards and took it to the next level of safety.

Raise the bar for safety in your flight department:

  • Outsourcing with the Right Organization is Safe and Effective: Smaller flight departments do not have the same needs or resources as larger ones. By utilizing Baldwin, you can have a safe, world-class flight operation without breaking the bank. We also provide pre-negotiated discounts ranging from 5%-60% for such services as weather and flight planning, CBT training, temporary personnel, in-flight medical emergency training, and more.
  • Mentor Your Department: Baldwin's team of experienced business aviation professionals act as mentors in building or enhancing your flight department, and are available 24/7 for advice on managing a variety of business aviation issues. Facilitates transfer of knowledge to new flight department personnel, contract crewmembers and owners of business aircraft.
  • Make Your Insurance Agent an Ally: Underwriters support Baldwin's programs and during insurance renewals, view participation in our programs very favorably.
  • Put a Quality Seal on Your Operation: International Standards for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) is the business aviation equivalent to ISO 9000. Baldwin clients have the opportunity to become IS-BAO registered under our safety and compliance umbrella.
  • Stay Ahead of Regulations: Ensures compliance to Safety Management System prior to mandate by U.S. Federal Regulatory authorities (FAA Advisory Circular 120-92a), as well as compliance with a number of foreign regulatory authorities, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Africa. We monitor pending regulatory changes and provide updated information and manuals, saving time for your flight department.
  • Get There Sooner for Less: Obtain conformity to IS-BAO or achieve registration in just 3-4 months, versus the typical in-house 18-24 months, with the appropriate resources (time, people, financial). Our program reduces the cost of implementing IS-BAO by up to 70% with the Baldwin Safety and Compliance Program.
  • Make Success Repeatable: Documented processes ensure continuity in the aviation organization; new personnel have access to preset standards and expectations for a seamless transition. Our proprietary Safety Barometer® provides on-going graphical, real-time representation of your safety culture.
