Part 5 Readiness Checklist

Use this to baseline whether your operation has the ingredients to get from “we know the rule exists” to “we can show an inspector why we are ready.” It is intentionally practical and biased toward evidence, ownership, and freshness.

Back To Waitlist

1. Organizational System

Can you describe the operation you are actually running?

  • Certificate details and operating entities are documented and current.
  • Operating contexts are clear: fixed-wing, rotor, HEMS, cargo, tour, or mixed.
  • Interfacing organizations are known, named, and reachable for hazard-sharing.
  • Aircraft, bases, and responsible safety roles are mapped to the right entities.

2. Safety Policy

Can you show policy and accountability, not just say it exists?

  • Safety policy, reporting posture, and accountability structure are documented.
  • Accountable Executive and Safety Manager responsibilities are explicit.
  • Trusted-source handling for sensitive reporting is defined.
  • Emergency-response responsibilities and review cadence are assigned.

3. Safety Risk Management

Can hazards turn into controls with a legible record of why?

  • There is a clear intake path for reports, changes, findings, and debriefs.
  • Risk assessment logic and approval thresholds are defined.
  • Controls have owners, verification methods, and monitoring signals.
  • Interfacing organizations can receive and respond to hazard notifications.

4. Safety Assurance

Can you detect drift, stale evidence, and ineffective controls?

  • Audit cadence, findings, corrective actions, and verification loops are scheduled.
  • Evidence freshness is visible rather than assumed.
  • There is a way to explain why a requirement is green, blocked, or stale.
  • Frozen audit packages can be produced from evidence snapshots rather than live database reads.

5. Safety Promotion

Can you prove communication happened and landed?

  • Safety communications, bulletins, and manual changes have acknowledgment receipts.
  • Training completions and rollout obligations are linked back to controls and evidence.
  • Crews have a practical path to submit reports, debriefs, and FRAT evidence.
  • Confidential reporting supports follow-up without exposing reporter identity broadly.

6. Launch Readiness Questions

Before you buy or build, answer these plainly.

  • Which existing systems are authoritative, and which are only contextual?
  • What evidence is missing today, and what goes stale fastest?
  • Who has to review declaration-critical obligations before they can go green?
  • Could you survive an inspector asking, “Why is this requirement green?”
This checklist is intentionally narrower than the full product vision. The launch wedge is baseline readiness, frozen audit packages, acknowledgment evidence, confidential reporting, debrief, FRAT where no authoritative FRAT exists, and the minimal closure loop that turns blockers into proof.
