March, 2010 – Portsmouth, NH

Aviation Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) announced they have completed the first International Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) certified audit in Australia for Revesco Aviation Pty. Phil Gibson, an International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) accredited auditor and veteran consultant for AMS, successfully completed the audit. AMS added IS-BAO auditing and implementation to its extensive line of aircraft acquisition and asset management advisory services last year and continues to build on this segment of their business.

"I cannot speak well enough of the high standards, exceptional skills and service delivery of Phil Gibson and AMS," stated Gary Gaunt, General Manager of Revesco Aviation. "I spent a great deal of time reviewing the backgrounds of the available IS-BAO auditors to assure myself that we had someone with the depth of experience as well as the ability to relate to our issues," Gaunt added.

Operating a Challenger 600 and Citation II, Revesco Aviation is based in Perth, Western Australia, and is the first Australian corporate/charter operator to obtain an IS-BAO certification. An increasing number of flight operations worldwide are implementing IS-BAO to demonstrate their safety compliance to a recognized international standard.

"The people here at Revesco are very committed to a safety culture," commented Phil Gibson, AMS Consultant. "They are focused on delivering a high standard of safe and reliable service and proved that with this successful Stage One certification. I think we will continue to see more operations all over the world seeking the IS-BAO certification as it is being recognized globally as the gold seal when it comes to meeting safety standards and implementing SMS programs," added Gibson.

Phil Gibson received the auditor accreditation from IBAC in 2009 and combines his wealth of aviation experience to make the audits run quickly and efficiently. Phil's distinguished management and professional pilot career includes more than 28 years of FAR Part 91, 135 and 121 operations with over 17,800 hours total flight time and type ratings in the G450/GV/G550, Dassault Falcon 900B/C/EX, Boeing 737/757/767, Learjet series 20/30/50 and Fokker-28.
