When you choose this option as your Performance Vector benefit, you select two of the three components listed below:

A) USAIG will purchase a copy of the IS-BAO or IS-BAH standard for you, making your organization a registered holder of the standard in perpetuity thereafter. Note: holding an organizational copy of the standard is a requirement to attain IS-BAO or IS-BAH registration, but it only needs to be purchased once, after which registered holders can obtain annual updates from the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC).

B) SMS-Lift™ from Convergent Performance. This group-formatted course addresses the vital SMS challenge of maximizing safety participation from all members of a flight organization. All materials are provided in a boxed kit to enable a member of your flight department to administer the course.

C) Paid tuition for one attendee at an IS-BAO or IS-BAH workshop as a non-accredited attendee (travel and lodging are not covered). Note: policyholders can opt to receive two paid workshop tuitions as their two components of this offer if that is preferable to options A or B.

PRISM SMS offers two subscription levels - PRISM Essential and PRISM Pro. USAIG policyholders that are eligible to participate in Performance Vector may choose the level that best aligns with their planned or existing SMS practices.

Annual enrollment in Air Charter Safety Foundation's Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) provides a robust process to collect, analyze, follow-through on, and archive employee-reported safety hazards, incidents and concerns. Participating organizations enter an agreement with ACSF and FAA to create a collaborative, unbiased and non-punitive context that fosters positive safety and reporting cultures. ACSF annual membership and ASAP fees are covered by USAIG for organizations with 6 or fewer aircraft and fewer than 25 employees. Larger organizations must already be (or become) an ACSF member to use this offer, and USAIG will fund the annual ASAP fee.

Choose this option and a USAIG representative will contact you to coordinate delivery of $2,500 in credits to your approved annual recurrent training provider to reduce your costs.

Webinar-based training provides an experience similar to a college seminar course-facilitated by an expert presenter-while enabling your team to get a common training experience even if they can't all be in the same place at once. Join webinars from anywhere a web connection is available. Links to recordings are provided after live sessions so participants can view or review on their own schedule if a live session can't be joined.

Have Pulsar Informatics' experts review your fatigue management and personnel rest/duty policies and practices. Then, boost knowledge across your organization with a live webinar training session by Pulsar Informatics for your personnel to review fatigue risk management terms and principles, highlight fatigue hot spots and causes, and go over fatigue mitigation strategies and techniques.
