BARS Benefactor
The Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) is a risk-based audit program that supports the resource and mining sector; humanitarian, government and insurance organizations; offshore helicopter operations; aerial mustering; and remotely piloted aircraft systems — to assist with managing aviation needs in challenging and remote environments. The BARS benefactor category was created to enable BARS member organizations with a special interest in safety to play a more active role within the Foundation. Contact BARS@flightsafety.org for more info.
