Additional Services · Auditing
Audits that find the finding before your registrar does.
Independent AS9100, AS9110 and ISO 9001 auditing built by people who have run repair stations, quality systems and regulatory programmes — not checklists written from a textbook.
Certification pressure is real. Failing an audit is expensive.
A single major nonconformance can stall a certification, freeze a customer contract or ground a revenue stream. Most organisations do not fail because the work is bad — they fail because the objective evidence does not tell the story the standard expects.
AeroOps360 audits your system the way a registrar will, then hands you a prioritised, plain-language path to closure. You get the findings, the risk ranking, the root cause and the corrective action language — before the stage 2 audit, not after it.

How It Works
A disciplined audit cycle with no surprises.
- 01Scope & Plan01We agree the standard, sites, processes and audit dates, then issue an audit plan your team can prepare against.
- 02Audit Execution02On-site or remote audit trails, process owner interviews and objective evidence sampling against every applicable clause.
- 03Findings & Report03A written report with nonconformances, observations and opportunities — each risk-ranked and written in language your team can act on.
- 04Closure & Verification04Root cause support, corrective action review and verification that the fix held before your registrar tests it.
Engagement Workflow
From first consultation to full implementation.
- Consultation01A no-cost discovery call to understand your standard, scope, certification target, current state and the deadline driving the work.
- Assessment & Proposal02A gap analysis of your QMS and SMS against the applicable standard, returned with a risk-ranked findings summary, effort estimate and fixed-scope proposal.
- Roadmap & Planning03An agreed implementation roadmap: owners, milestones, document hierarchy, audit calendar and the evidence each milestone must produce.
- Implementation04We build it with you — manuals, procedures, risk registers, safety performance indicators, forms and records aligned to how your organisation actually operates.
- Training & Internal Audit05Process owners are trained on their part of the system, then a full internal audit and management review cycle is run to prove the system is live.
- Certification & Sustainment06Pre-assessment, registrar support through stage 1 and stage 2, corrective action closure, then ongoing surveillance and continual improvement support.
