FRMS – Training for Operators and Regulators

How do you, as a regulator, provide oversight of a new system that is unfamiliar? How can you insure compliance without unnecessary impact on a service provider? Our experts were the original designers of the FRMS systems established within easyJet Airlines and endorsed by the regulator. The ICAO Standard and Recommended Practices (SARP) are based on their research and operational experience. We can provide training to the service providers and the regulators to provide both organizations a quick path to compliance. The accelerated training ultimately enhances regulatory compliance at a reduced cost.
