Summit Helicopters Achieves Bars Gold

“Summit Helicopters has always worked to understand our client’s needs, including established aviation standards that exceed Transport Canada requirements. We have developed internal processes to review these standards against our approved procedures, and to build reference documents, training, and exams so our crews are able to meet our clients’ expectations easily and efficiently.

We first took on the Basic Aviation Risk Standard in 2017 and progressively have increased our operations categories and we’ve even used the standard to bring new types of service into our portfolio. After our latest audit, I am pleased to share that Summit has achieved BARS Gold. This is an important milestone for Summit Helicopters, and I want to acknowledge the hard work of Luda Karpachova and Jordan Cyr who were instrumental in making this happen.

Thank you to the auditors for your detailed audits ver the last four years, and special thanks to the Flight Safety Foundation for your meticulous management of this standard. Through continuous improvement we are building a more safe and reliable operation, day by day.”
