On-site Audits: Setting the standard in aviation safety.
Skyjet uses three aviation audit authorities that are acknowledged and accepted by the aviation industry such as  ARG/US and the Wyvern Standard. Because Skyjet does not have ownership or partnership relationships with any operators or auditors, Skyjet is completely objective in demanding the highest standards from each. All Skyjet Network operators must have successfully passed an on-site audit conducted by one or more of these audit organizations to be considered for the carefully chosen network of approved operators.

A commitment to excellence.
Each audit organization has set specific requirements above and beyond what is required of a charter operator to achieve an FAA Part 135 certificate. Importantly, on-site audits require a significant commitment on the part of the charter operator. Some companies limit their tracking to certain aspects of a charter operation, such as pilot background checks or historical safety ratings. While these "reports" are valuable, only an on-site audit assures that the operator is meeting the highest levels of safety and maintenance

How it works.
Each audit is somewhat different in its approach, but all investigate how well the charter operation is managed and whether formal safety procedures and policies are in place and enforced. The Wyvern Standard audits require certain criteria above and beyond what the FAA requires for Part 135 certification. Examples include a maintenance training program, minimum equipment requirements, a higher minimum level of pilot experience, and ongoing training in a certified simulator – the latter being something not required by the FAA.

ARG/US are systems oriented and concentrate on how the charter operator ensures its compliance with safety regulations, looking for the presence of cross checks and well-documented procedures. For example, an on-site audit reviews the system the operator uses to keep their pilots’ records up-to-date and ensures complete compliance. An audit spot checks these records to verify that the operator’s system works. This approach is applied to 25 areas of operations and maintenance during an audit, and provides in-depth research and investigation into the firm’s compliance. ARG/US exclusively employs former aviation safety auditors working for the Department of Defense in the Office of Air Carrier Inspections.

Crew Requirements: Setting a higher bar.
All Skyjet-arranged jet card flights must use multi-engine, turbojet aircraft with two qualified pilots. In addition, Skyjet has developed additional stringent crew requirements that all operators in the Skyjet Network must meet. These include minimum logged pilot hours and minimum requirements for logged hours aircraft type, as well as FAA approved annual recurrent simulator training and testing. Captain or pilot-in-command (PIC) includes 3,000 hours of logged flight time.

Daily safety reporting and tracking.
In addition to requiring annual on-site audits and stringent crew requirements, Skyjet requires a daily crew check prior to each flight.
