How are the Safety Gauge™ and safetysherpa® programs different?

Baldwin offers a turnkey flight organization start-up program based on the Baldwin safety programs. By establishing a sound safety foundation, our Safety Gauge™ program focuses on getting safe and staying safe in a new flight department.


Our extended mentoring program, safetysherpa®, is designed for new or changing flight departments - going beyond the basics of a "start-up" program. By serving as mentors, we use our extensive aviation experience to help you start out safe and - just as important - stay that way. Working with flight organization managers and existing personnel, our objective is to teach them to fish rather than providing a "single fish dinner".

Key areas that are included in these programs are:

* Company Management and the Flight Organization
* Aviation Personnel / Staff
* Aircraft Acquisition / Fleet Planning
* Safety Management Program (SMS)
* Aviation Security Program
* Flight Operations
* Regulatory / Government / Airport Authority
* Aircraft Maintenance
* Training Programs
* Airports, Facilities and Office
* Administration / Fiscal (Budgets, Processes etc.)
* Tax Issues
* Aviation Insurance
* Supplemental Lift
* Contract / Temporary Employees
* Subscriptions & Memberships
* Baldwin Program Implementation
* Establish Support Resources (temp crew, charter backup, trip support services)
* Additional Services as Requested by Client (additional rates may apply)
