What are people saying about the Baldwin programs?

"..... It is the finest program and materials that I have seen anywhere, bar none. He is doing a world class job, which of course makes my task very pleasurable. I know when I arrive at a Baldwin client that they will be prepared, be believers in SMS, and will be regularly reducing risk in their operations....." IS-BAO Auditor

".....We are a single aircraft operator. We also do not have the resources to completely manage our IS-BAO/SMS programs internally. We have had an SMS program in place for over 2 years and achieved IS-BAO phase 1 registration in April, 2010. We contracted with Baldwin Aviation and have been very happy with their hosted, adaptable solution. We have been able to customize the Baldwin material to absolutely match our operations while leveraging the "best practices" that are built into the content of the manuals/programs.  We have seen postitive benefits from implementing an SMS program and achieving IS-BAO registration including tangible returns like decreased insurance discounts."  Excerpt from online Aviation Blog - Aviation Director

"There is no way we could ever have imagined getting the IS-BAO and ARG/US Platinum certifications without the tools, guidance and support from Baldwin Aviation." Director of Operations, Part 135 Operator, Houston, TX

"You have truly put together an impressive aircraft management department. What was especially impressive was your web based risk management and training systems. Neither the underwriter nor I have seen a better system to date. It will prove helpful when we negotiate the renewal of your insurance program later this year." [excerpt from an email to one of Baldwin's clients from their Aviation Insurance Company]

"We are a small 91 operation and are lucky to have a very understanding principal and at the onset of our department established ground rules which included a 135 duty day.   One thing we have done subsequent to our inception was establishing an SMS. We use Baldwin Aviation's program and a very useful tool is their online based risk assessment tool which is completed prior to every flight. This tool measures every aspect of the flight from pilot quals to weather to the type of airport to duty day to number of legs, etc. The program rates the risk in a numerical form at the end. There have been times when the crew was well within their duty day and the assessment showed it was a very high risk due to other factors. We follow this religiously and the one thing this program affords us is consistency and unbiased decisions especially on those marginal days." [As quoted from NBAA Av Manager] Aviation Director - Mid-West]

"The content of Baldwin's system - I looked at others - Baldwin was the most 'turnkey' and updates are easy. My crews can go directly INTO the software, this is important - they can look up the data they need at home or on the road, if necessary." Aviation Department Manager, West Coast

"Right from the inquiry stage they have been responsive, they are right there. We hold THEM back sometimes! Baldwin makes it easy." Chief Pilot - West Coast

"Baldwin [was] extremely flexible to our situation and needs and have helped us reach our goal of becoming a 'world class' small flight department. And, their influence and involvement continues. Now, in our day-to-day activities, we are acutely aware of how we assess risks and respond to them. This process has helped us refine and enhance our operations. We couldn't have done this without Baldwin." West Coast Aviation Director
