FlyHouse today announced the launch of the FlyHouse Safety Seal, an initiative designed to establish the highest safety rating standards in the industry.
The FlyHouse Safety Seal is awarded through an unprecedented, transparent and equitable safety evaluation system for pilots and aircraft seeking to be on the FlyHouse platform.
The mission of the FlyHouse Safety Seal is to elevate safety standards across the industry by exceeding traditional third-party audit ratings and implementing a rigorous audit process that evaluates operators and pilots based on objective criteria.
At the centre of the FlyHouse Safety Seal evaluation is the company’s proprietary Culture and Safety Assessment (CASA), a comprehensive culture and risk assessment that measures 45 indicators across six categories to understand how operators assess and manage risk.
Unlike the industry’s existing standard audits, CASA combines quantitative FAA standards with qualitative insights on how operators manage risk, offering travellers a clearer picture of an operator’s commitment to safety and ability to manage their operation and business.
The assessment does not use “yes or no” questions and, instead, is a discussion-based, real-world evaluation based on key areas that range from crew training to flight operations, maintenance practices, safety programs and even company culture.
Al Mann, Chief Safety Officer of FlyHouse, said: “The FlyHouse Safety Seal represents a significant step forward in establishing a higher standard of safety and risk management in private aviation.
“ Our goal is to dig deeper than checklists and typical compliance routines. The proprietary FlyHouse CASA protocol identifies operational strengths and areas for improvement through structured ratings and in-depth discussions.
“We believe the introduction of the FlyHouse Safety Seal will set a new benchmark for safety in private aviation, encouraging all operators to elevate their safety practices.”
When an aircraft operator expresses interest in joining the FlyHouse community, they undergo a comprehensive CASA audit before they are approved to join. Upon completion of the audit, participants will receive a detailed report outlining the results.
