Become an NATA Safety 1^st Ground Auditor!

NATA Safety 1^st is the industry-known leader in FBO safety and training programs. As such, our members asked NATA to develop a single standard for FBOs that could eliminate the burden of multiple audits and raise the standard of safety throughout the FBO industry.

 

NATA's Safety 1^st Ground Audit Standard will allow for two levels of certification: a self-certification level and a third-party audit level. All candidates must submit an application to become an auditor and, if qualifications are met, will need to be trained on the Ground Audit Standards by NATA to be listed as an accredited auditor. FBOs seeking self-certification may submit an employee's application in order to be considered for the self-certification audit process.
