GuARD your aviation assets!
Handling the aftermath of an accident or serious incident can be overwhelming. Only by planning ahead can you hope to avoid becoming a casualty of the accident response process. GuARD provides the guidance you will need to address the issues of immediate concern to the NTSB and FAA while remaining mindful of the potential for litigation and maintaining operational continuity. GuARD’s expertise spans not only major airlines, but also corporate flight departments and others whose core business is not aviation. GuARD’s services focus on doing “more with less.”
Accident Investigation & Reconstruction
Quality Customized Training
Are you prepared to handle an accident or incident? Is your “Go Team” properly trained and equipped? Do you know the NTSB rules and FAA protocols for investigations conducted in the U.S.? Or the international protocols conducted under ICAO Annex 13? If not, your participation in the investigation will likely be ineffective -- leading to stunted operations, poor relationships with authorities and the potential for negative publicity and financial loss. Having a well-trained staff is vital to ensure your equities are protected. Jeff Guzzetti has a proven track record and the passion for developing tailored instruction to any audience about the ins-and-outs of participating in an accident investigation. You will benefit from customized, concise, and experiential training that can be deployed on-site or remotely.
Emergency Response Planning
Whether you are a charter company, air medical helicopter operation, flight school, airframe manufacturer, or a major airline, an accident or serious incident will inject chaos into your life. Such events demand a timely, thorough and effective response to counter this chaos while maintaining operational continuity. Accidents and incidents can also place significant financial pressures on your organization and damage its reputation. GuARD can assist your firm in emergency response planning to mitigate disruption to normal operations, financial loss, and negative attention. Customized response plan development will also ensure productive relationships with regulatory and investigative agencies.
Safety Audits & Surveys
To make sure your aviation firm meets best industry practices, it’s critical to have outside experts review and audit your operation to ensure it meets the high standards expected by your customers. Jeff Guzzetti is a highly trained and experienced expert who can audit your operation to ensure your firm passes muster. An assessment by GuARD will lead to enhanced operational safety through predictive and proactive methods, increased senior management appreciation for the operation, and greater confidence by the regulators that oversee your company.
Technical Representation
From the moment an aircraft accident or serious incident investigation begins, you will likely be challenged by passengers, victim families, employees, unions, insurance companies, news media, and governmental agencies. GuARD can provide you with representation to assist in dealing effectively with these challenges, while providing you with expertise to help your firm with the technical knowledge, operational insight and legal perspective you will need. Knowing the right people can make all the difference. GuARD can provide in-depth research, report writing, and testimony.
