In service of the United Arab Emirates
Our Vision

Rooted in the UAE.
Held to the global standard.

To raise UAE-based operators, FBOs, and MROs to the global standard of business aviation safety, in service of the country we call home.

We trust the vision of the UAE's leadership. We believe in the country's ambition for aviation, in the Emirati professionals who carry it forward, and in our place beside them. Our practice exists to contribute, in the only currency aviation respects: audited safety, applied daily.

Every engagement we accept, every Emirati student we train, every audit we sign, is a small return on the trust the UAE has placed in those of us who live and work here.

For UAE Operators

The audit standard the country expects, delivered without compromise.

For Emirati Talent

Classrooms, ground time, and credentials. The pathway into the profession.

For UAE FBOs & MROs

IS-BAH and quality systems sized to the operation, tuned to the regulator.

For the Vision 2031

Safety is the substrate on which aviation ambition is built. We supply it.

With Gratitude & Loyalty

In honour of the leadership of the United Arab Emirates.

A Note From The Founding Members

Practice over posture.

Aviation safety belongs to the people who do the work. So the practice was built by them. Our auditors hold real credentials and know the operations floor, the ramp, and the regulator's office in equal measure.

Dr. Siddhartha Sharma brings 22 years of aviation compliance, audit, and regulatory affairs across defence, OEM, and scheduled carrier operations. Santosh V. Dwibhashi, MRAeS brings 21 years of corporate flight operations, ground handling, and instruction. Between them, every report leaves the office twice reviewed.

"Safety culture is not a poster on a wall. It is the daily practice of reporting honestly, learning openly, and acting on what we learn. Our work is to embed that practice, audit it without fear, and improve it without ego."

From the practice

A glimpse of the work.

Two examples of how we think, beyond the audit report.

Business Aviation Global Safety Incident Dashboard
Safety intelligence

We watch the whole field.

A live business-aviation safety dashboard we maintain from Aviation Safety Network data: events, fatalities, ICAO occurrence categories, and phase-of-flight trends across the world. Reading the patterns is the first job of safety.

Silo Auditor versus Holistic Auditor in ICAO SMS
How we audit

We audit safety, not paperwork.

A silo audit confirms that SMS components exist. We check whether they work together to actually reduce risk. That is the difference between auditing the binder and auditing the safety performance.

Practice areas.

Each engagement is scoped to the operator. Each deliverable is built to be accepted on the first read.

We do not sell templates. An audit is only as good as the judgement behind it, and a manual is only as good as the operation it describes. Across ten practice areas, the common thread is the same: risk understood before it is documented, compliance built to hold under scrutiny, and quality measured by what survives the next audit, not the last one. And we hold one line without exception: we do not audit any operation we have prepared, advised, or built.

Welcome. Ten practice areas. Each described in detail below.

01IBAC AUDITS · Pillar I

IS-BAO & IS-BAH Audits

Independent auditing and registration support for the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO™) and the International Standard for Business Aviation Handlers (IS-BAH™). FlightPlan Stage 1, registration audits, Progressive Stage 3, and renewal cycles. Scoped to the operation, delivered to IBAC protocol.

The three-stage IBAC pathway

IS-BAO and IS-BAH are voluntary codes of best practice developed by the International Business Aviation Council. Both are built around a Safety Management System aligned with ICAO Annex 19, and both follow a progressive registration pathway. Stage 1 confirms that the SMS infrastructure is established and that safety management activities are appropriately targeted. Stage 2, undertaken at renewal, verifies that safety risks are being effectively managed and that the system is performing as designed. Stage 3 verifies that safety management activities are fully integrated into the operation and that a positive, sustainable safety culture exists.

Risk-based audit methodology

Our audit approach is risk-based, not checklist-based. Findings are weighed against the operational profile of the audited entity: fleet complexity, mission type, base of operations, regulatory registry, and the maturity of the existing SMS. We open every engagement with a hazard inventory and an SMS maturity baseline, then prioritise audit attention where the operational risk actually lives, not where the protocol simply asks the question. The IS-BAO / IS-BAH framework supports this approach precisely because both standards are built on the four pillars of SMS: safety policy and objectives, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion.

Progressive Stage 3 (PS3)

Introduced by IBAC for mature Stage 3 operators, Progressive Stage 3 replaces the traditional three-yearly audit with annual, one-day, low-impact progressive reviews. Each annual visit covers roughly one third of the IS-BAO chapters, with the SMS chapter examined every year. Scheduling is operator-led; chapter sequencing can be tailored to current operational priorities; and registered PS3 operators gain access to IBAC's de-identified business aviation safety database for benchmarking. For veteran flight departments, PS3 is a quieter, more analytical way of holding the standard.

What we deliver

  • IS-BAO™ Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 Registration audits
  • IS-BAO™ Progressive Stage 3 (PS3) annual reviews
  • IS-BAH™ ground handling audits and Conformity Validation
  • Pre-audit Gap Analysis with prioritised remediation roadmap
  • Corrective Action Plan (CAP) drafting and close-out support
  • FlightPlan Stage 1 (FP) onboarding for new entrants
  • Internal audit programme design and conduct
02ATO TRAINING · Pillar IV

Aviation Training

Designed by instructors who teach. Delivered to teams that operate. Courses are scoped to be used, not filed.

Training that earns its place in the operation

A training programme should reduce risk, not simply record attendance. Our courses begin with the operator's own hazard register and recurrent finding patterns. Lesson content is mapped to the SMS chapters and operational manuals already in force, so what is taught in the classroom is what the regulator and the audit team will see in practice. Where competency-based learning applies, we follow the ICAO CBTA / EBT framework: defined competencies, observable performance indicators, and assessment by trained evaluators.

Format options

Programmes are modular and stackable. Classroom delivery, instructor-led virtual, and embedded-with-the-operation formats. Each programme includes a syllabus reviewed against the applicable authority of registry, an instructor-of-record record, traceable attendance and assessment records, and a recurrent training plan with defined intervals.

Available courses

  • Basics in Aviation Management
  • Radiotelephony (RT) for Aviation Personnel
  • Flight Deck familiarisation programmes (arranged in partnership with approved ATOs)
  • Load Control (DCS-grade), Weight & Balance
  • Safety Management Systems (foundation, intermediate, advanced)
  • Human Factors and Crew Resource Management (CRM)
  • Dangerous Goods Awareness and acceptance
  • Custom in-house programmes built around your fleet and roles
03DOCUMENTATION · Pillar II

Manual Preparation

Manuals built to be signed off on the first read. Drafted from scratch, refreshed from the current set, or rewritten where prior efforts have stalled.

What a good manual does

An operations manual is the operator's contract with the regulator and the operating crew. It defines who is accountable, how risk is managed, what is permitted, what is prohibited, and what to do when conditions deviate from the plan. A manual drafted without reference to the daily reality of the operation is a manual that gets contradicted on the line.

Our drafting approach

We start with two parallel inputs: the applicable regulatory framework (GCAA CAR, EASA OPS, FAA, Bermuda, Isle of Man, San Marino, or other registry) and the operator's own current procedures, training records, and recent finding history. Drafting follows a controlled document workflow with version control, page-of revision dating, and an issue and revision page that survives regulator scrutiny. Every manual we deliver includes a controlled-document map and a revision plan with defined trigger events for amendment.

Manuals we prepare

  • Ground Operations Manual (GOM)
  • Special Performance Operations (SPO) Manual
  • Operations Manual (OM-A / OM-B / OM-C / OM-D)
  • Safety Manual
  • Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Manual and administration procedures
  • Flight Support Manual
  • Operational and Technical Notices
  • SMS Manual aligned with ICAO Annex 19 four-pillar structure
  • Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
04ADVISORY · Pillar I

Aviation Project Consultancy

From concept to first revenue flight. New flight departments, new AOC applications, fleet expansions, and acquisitions.

Where we add value

The most expensive errors in aviation projects are made before the first flight. Wrong authority of registry. Manuals that mirror the wrong regulation. An organisational structure that fails the post-holder test on day one of the audit. A fleet decision made on tax efficiency that the operator's SMS cannot absorb. We work alongside the accountable manager from concept stage, with the regulator in mind from the first conversation.

Engagements are fixed-scope

The team that starts the work finishes the work. No handover to a junior consultant after the kickoff. Deliverables are agreed in writing at the start, milestones are reviewed against the regulator's published timelines, and the engagement closes when the operation is operating, not when the invoice is paid.

Scope of work

  • AOC application support and post-holder placement
  • Flight department set-up (Part 91, Part 135, equivalent local frameworks)
  • Fleet expansion strategy and aircraft selection
  • Operational restructuring and turnaround
  • Acquisition due diligence (technical, operational, compliance)
  • Interim Accountable Manager and Post Holder cover
  • Authority of registry selection and migration planning
05GROUND HANDLING · Pillar I

Ground Handling Arrangements

Vetting, contracting, and oversight. Ad-hoc through to annual SLAs across the GCC and MENA, on terms that protect the operation.

The ramp is where incidents happen

Industry data consistently shows that ground operations carry a disproportionate share of preventable damage and injury events. IS-BAH and IATA IGOM / ISAGO exist because ramp risk requires a structured response: trained personnel, controlled procedures, calibrated equipment, and continuous safety monitoring. When the operation contracts a third-party handler, the operator's SMS still owns the risk. The handler's performance becomes the operator's risk register.

Our oversight approach

We assess prospective handlers against IS-BAH-aligned criteria: SMS maturity, training records, equipment serviceability, emergency response readiness, dangerous goods acceptance capability, and demonstrated safety culture. Contracts are drafted with measurable service levels, incident reporting obligations, and audit rights. The operator's accountable manager retains visibility through quarterly performance reviews and an annual on-site verification.

What we arrange

  • FBO selection, vetting, and IS-BAH compliance verification
  • Ramp-handling service level agreements (SLAs)
  • Passenger services contracting (VVIP, corporate, charter)
  • Fuel arrangements, into-plane oversight, contract negotiation
  • Overflight permits, landing permits, diplomatic clearances
  • Slot management and ATFM coordination
  • Block overflight permit arrangements for fleet operators
06COMPLIANCE · Pillar III

Integrated Compliance Management System

Regulatory compliance, internal audits, risk registers, findings tracking, and management reporting in a single integrated system. Calibrated to fleet scale and authority of registry.

One system, not five spreadsheets

Most operators end up running compliance across disconnected systems: a regulatory tracker maintained by the compliance manager, a hazard log on the safety officer's desktop, an audit schedule kept by the quality function, training records held by HR, and management reviews that arrive as PDFs. The system gaps are where audit findings are born. An Integrated Compliance Management System unifies these threads into a single, traceable workflow keyed to the operator's SMS.

Risk-based monitoring

Compliance attention is allocated to risk, not to the alphabet of the regulation. High-frequency, low-severity findings receive process-level fixes. Low-frequency, high-severity exposures receive controls and indicators tracked through Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs) and Safety Performance Targets (SPTs). The Safety Action Group reviews the trends; the Safety Review Board acts on them. This is the four-pillar SMS expressed as a daily operating system.

What's included

  • Regulatory compliance tracking against authority of registry
  • Internal Audit Programme (IAP) design and conduct
  • Risk-based monitoring with prioritised attention allocation
  • Findings and Corrective Action Plan (CAP) lifecycle management
  • Management Review reporting to Accountable Manager
  • SMS-aligned hazard registers and risk indicators (SPIs / SPTs)
  • Safety Action Group / Safety Review Board secretariat
  • Change Management (MOC) procedures and oversight
07STRATEGY · Pillar I

Aviation Project Feasibility

Feasibility studies a board can rely on. Economics first. Independent of any predetermined outcome.

The honest first answer

An aviation feasibility study is most valuable when it has the courage to say no. We work from first principles: the demand evidence, the unit economics, the capital cost, the regulatory pathway, the airspace and slot reality, and the operating risk profile. We model conservative, base, and optimistic cases, and we name the assumptions that drive each one. Where the numbers do not support the proposition, we say so on the first page.

How we work

Studies are commissioned in two phases. Phase 1 is a four to six week scoping pass that delivers a go / no-go indication and identifies the questions Phase 2 must answer. Phase 2 is the full study. This structure protects the client from spending Phase 2 fees on a Phase 1 outcome. Findings are presented to the board with the working assumptions and the sensitivity tables open for review.

Studies we undertake

  • Route economics and network design
  • Fleet rationalisation and replacement modelling
  • Base-of-operations and home-base studies
  • FBO and MRO site feasibility
  • Market entry assessment (new geography, new mission)
  • Capital requirement modelling and financing structure
  • Operational risk assessment for board-level decisions

09LIAISON · Pillar III

Regulatory Coordination

Applications, variations, endorsements, and audit defence across GCAA, DCAA, SCAA, and the wider MENA regulatory landscape.

Working with the regulator, not around it

A regulator is a partner in the safety of the system, not an obstacle to be navigated. Applications that arrive complete, on the published forms, with the supporting evidence indexed and the manuals already aligned, are applications that get approved. Applications that arrive incomplete create their own delays. Our work is to ensure that what reaches the regulator's desk is ready to be signed.

Audit defence

When a regulatory audit issues findings, the operator's response window is short and the quality of the response determines whether the file closes or escalates. We draft Corrective Action Plans that address root cause, not just symptom; we coordinate the evidence package; and we sit at the table for the close-out meeting. Where systemic issues are found, we work with the operator on the underlying SMS gaps so the same finding does not return at the next audit.

Authority coverage

  • Initial approvals: AOC, MRO (Part 145), ATO (Part 147)
  • Variations, amendments, and endorsements
  • Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) approvals
  • RVSM, MNPS, RNP-AR, and PBN authorisations
  • Foreign Carrier Permits and operating authority

10FLIGHT DISPATCH · REMOTE OCC

Remote Flight Dispatch & Remote OCC

Licensed flight-following and operational control support, delivered remotely for non-complex operators who need professional dispatch without the cost of a full in-house Operations Control Centre.

Operational control, without the overhead

For a one or two-aircraft operation, a competent flight dispatch and operational control function is a safety and regulatory necessity, but standing up a round-the-clock Operations Control Centre, with licensed dispatchers, redundant communications, and flight-planning, weather and NOTAM tooling, is disproportionate to the size of the operation. Remote dispatch closes that gap. The operator gains qualified, licensed dispatch support on demand, scaled precisely to the complexity of the fleet and the network, while operational control responsibility stays clearly defined between our dispatcher and the operator's pilot-in-command.

A licensed, multi-authority dispatch team

The service is run by a team of seasoned flight dispatchers holding licences across the GCAA, DGCA and FAA frameworks. Between them they bring years on the desk in flight planning, fuel and payload optimisation, weather and NOTAM analysis, ETOPS / EDTO and adequate-aerodrome planning, and the joint dispatcher-and-commander responsibility model that sits at the heart of operational control. Because the team works fluently across more than one authority, the service maps cleanly onto whichever authority of registry the operator holds.

How the remote model works

We integrate with the operator's existing procedures and Operations Manual rather than replacing them. A typical sortie is supported end to end: pre-flight planning and the Operational Flight Plan, a full pre-departure briefing package, active flight watch through the flight, dynamic re-planning for weather or a technical diversion, and a documented post-flight close-out and handover. Scope is calibrated to the operation and billed to suit it, per flight, by block hours, or as a retained monthly arrangement, including surge cover for operators who run their own desk but need overflow capacity.

What we provide

  • Remote flight dispatch and flight following for non-complex operators
  • Operational Flight Plans, fuel and payload computation, route optimisation
  • Weather, NOTAM and hazard briefing packages
  • ETOPS / EDTO and adequate-aerodrome planning where applicable
  • Flight watch with dynamic re-planning for weather and technical diversions
  • Dispatcher-to-commander joint responsibility under the operator's Operations Manual
  • Permit and slot coordination interfaced with the dispatch workflow
  • Surge and overflow dispatch cover for operators with an existing OCC

Practice over posture.

The practice is led by working aviation professionals, not former ones. The difference shows in the report, the manual, and the classroom.

Between us we have stood on both sides of the audit table, held post-holder accountability, taught the courses, and signed the manuals we now help others build. We have seen what a finding costs an operator, and what a well-run safety system saves one. That is the perspective we bring: not theory borrowed from a textbook, but the working knowledge of people who still do the job.

The Name

Why "Right"
Brothers?

The Wright Brothers proved that flight was possible. We borrow the name, change a single letter, and accept the obligation that comes with it: to make sure that flight, done right, is auditable, sustainable, and survivable.

The pun is intentional. The standard behind it is not negotiable. A name is a small promise made in public, and ours commits us to the harder reading of every checklist, the second look at every finding, and the version of the answer that is correct rather than convenient.

There are two of us by design. Compliance and audit on one side, training and ground operations on the other, two specialisms that have to agree before a report, a manual, or a course leaves the office. One signs nothing the other has not first challenged. Two heads, properly aligned and independent enough to challenge each other, catch what one alone would miss. Every report leaves the office twice reviewed.

We named the practice for the people who built the first aircraft, not for the people who later wrote about them. That distinction is the whole point. We still do the work: on the ramp, at the audit table, in the classroom. The name is the daily reminder to keep doing it the right way, even when the shortcut is available and no one is watching.

"Challenged in private. Certain in public."

Values & Just Culture

I

Truth, told kindly.

Every finding is what we believe to be true, written in language a colleague will accept. Auditors, not adversaries.

II

The error, not the person.

Just culture is not a poster. It is the discipline of separating system failure from individual character.

III

Practitioner first.

We do not consult on what we have not done. Our auditors hold real credentials and remember what it feels like to be the one being audited.

IV

Independent, always.

We do not audit where we have implemented, or implement where we have audited. The IBAC APM is the floor, not the ceiling.

Test yourself.
Then close the gap.

A ten-question sampler across SMS, human factors, ETOPS and the rules that bind them. You get your score and the short answer free; the handouts go deeper.

Our training materials are written the way we teach: short, current, and built around the things that actually get missed on the line and in the audit. Take the quiz, see where your gaps are, and pick up the handout that fixes them. Full video courses are on the way.

Quick one. Ten questions, about five minutes. Free score.

Training videos - in production

We are building proper, practitioner-led video courses - ETOPS / EDTO, Human Factors, and Safety Management System implementation - the kind you can put your team through and come away able to do the work, not just pass the quiz. Leave an email and we will tell you the moment the first one is live.

Privacy & Trust.

How we handle your data, your engagement records, and the confidence you place in us.

Our Client Confidentiality Commitment

When you engage Aerosafety Management Consulting, the operational and safety information you share with us is held in the strictest professional confidence. This is not a marketing promise. It is the operating principle of an audit practice.

Findings, gap analyses, internal procedures, training records, names of crew or staff, and any commercially sensitive information disclosed during an engagement remain the property of the client and are never disclosed to third parties, never used for promotional purposes without explicit written consent, and never aggregated in ways that could identify your operation.

This commitment is honoured by both founding members personally, and survives the conclusion of any engagement.

How we handle client engagement data

What we collect during engagements

In the course of an audit, training programme, manual preparation, or consultancy engagement, we receive and review documentation that may include:

How we store it

Engagement materials are stored on encrypted, access-controlled systems located within the United Arab Emirates. Only the assigned engagement team has access to a given client's records. Physical documents, where applicable, are kept under lock and disposed of by certified secure destruction at the close of the engagement retention period.

Retention and disposal

Engagement records are retained for the minimum period required by professional standards and applicable regulation, after which they are securely destroyed. Working copies, draft reports, and analytical materials are destroyed on completion of the engagement unless the client specifically requests otherwise.

Disclosure

We do not disclose client information to any third party except where compelled by lawful order of a competent authority, or where the client has provided explicit written consent. We do not share, sell, license, or repurpose client information for any reason.

Conflicts of interest

We maintain a conflict-of-interest register. Before accepting an engagement we screen for direct competitive overlap, prior involvement in the audited operation, and any relationship that could compromise independence. Clients are notified of any potential conflict and given the option to decline or set their own conditions.
