Base Operations Audit Checklist

This aviation base operations audit checklist helps assess fueling procedures and storage, condition of fueling equipment, and availability of safety equipment. It covers fuel storage practices, drums and turbine fuel handling, and vendor fueling away from base. General base operations include duty time tracking, aviation safety program activities, pilot and mechanic proficiency records, communications, dispatch and office readiness, flight following, SAR preparedness, drop kit availability, and accident response drills. Security and Dangerous Goods controls address designated responsibility, documented policies, annual risk assessments, access controls, staff communication, training, and compliance with applicable DGR requirements.
