What are Audit Techniques in Aviation?
Audit techniques in aviation involve systematic and comprehensive processes used to evaluate and assess various aspects of aviation operations to ensure compliance, safety, and efficiency. These techniques employ a range of methods, including document reviews, interviews, observations, and data analysis. Audits can cover different areas such as safety management systems, operational procedures, regulatory compliance, maintenance practices, and quality management. The purpose of audit techniques in aviation is to identify any discrepancies, non-compliance, or potential risks, and to provide recommendations for improvement. By conducting audits, aviation organisations can proactively identify and rectify issues, enhance safety and operational performance, and maintain regulatory compliance within the industry.
