• Air Research Group / US (ARGUS);
• Intl Standard, Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO); and
• WYVERN Wingman
While all four protocols addressed the basic elements of the safety management system as outlined in ICAO Annex 19, only the WYVERN and IS-BAO protocols provided for detailed analysis of an organization’s SMS and focused on the behavior of the organization itself not what was merely present in the organization’s manual suite. Additionally, the WYVERN and IS-BAO protocols provided detail for evaluating safety data collection and safety data information sharing while the ACSF and ARGUS protocols did not.
The overall rankings from the analysis were as follows:
#1: WYVERN
