Audits

Our aviation audits provide companies with the opportunity to independently and objectively review processes, documentation, and technical expertise. They are an effective tool for identifying weaknesses, uncovering potential, and driving continuous improvement.

An effective tool for process optimisation:

Audits enable a comprehensive review of documentation, compliance with procedures and processes, and the level of expertise within your organisation—making a significant contribution to quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

Independent audits – objective, valuable, and sustainable:

Independent audits create real added value by providing an objective analysis of your processes, procedures, and systems—free from internal influence and with a fresh external perspective. Our many years of experience in DOA (Part 21 Subpart J), POA (Part 21 Subpart G), MOA (Part 145), CAMO (Part-CAMO, Part M, Part ML), as well as EN 9100 and ISO 9001, shows that external audits are a key success factor for sustainable improvements.

Benefits of independent audits:

  • Unbiased analyses: Fresh perspectives without internal operational blind spots
  • Objective assessment: Identifying potential and weaknesses that are often overlooked internally
  • Opportunities for improvement: Challenging established processes and elevating them to a new level of quality

Strengthening internal audit capability:

In addition to performing external audits, we offer targeted employee training to qualify your teams in audit methodology and practice. This helps you build sustainable internal audit competence and creates the foundation for continuous process optimisation and long-term compliance.

SYSTEM AUDITS

Our system audits verify the implementation of aviation regulatory requirements as well as compliance with EN 9100 and ISO 9001. We specifically identify weaknesses and support you in sustainably optimising your management systems and ensuring long-term compliance.

PROCESS AND PROCEDURE AUDITS

Process and procedure audits ensure that legal and regulatory requirements are met and that interfaces and responsibilities function smoothly. They help make workflows more efficient and error-free while supporting continuous process improvement and compliance assurance.

PRODUCT AUDITS​

Our product audits verify the conformity of your products with regard to configuration, specifications, and regulatory requirements. This ensures that your products meet the highest quality standards and fully comply with all relevant requirements.

CONFIGURATION AUDITS​

During configuration audits, we compare the status “as designed” with “as manufactured” as well as other relevant states. This allows deviations to be identified early and ensures consistency, quality, and traceability throughout your production processes.

SUPPLIER AUDITS​

With our supplier audits, we assess the capability, reliability, and compliance of your suppliers. We conduct various types of audits—including system audits, process and procedure audits, product audits, and pre-approval audits—to ensure that your partners consistently meet all quality and safety standards.

PRE-APPROVAL AUDITS​

Pre-approval audits help you assess operational performance and system maturity even before approval by EASA or the LBA. This ensures that all prerequisites for successful certification are fulfilled and that the approval process runs smoothly.

With regard to EN 9100 / ISO 9001

We assess your organisation’s performance and identify potential nonconformities before certification activities are initiated by conformity assessment or certification bodies. This creates the foundation for a successful certification and long-term compliance.

Audits as a strategic basis for decision-making:

Our audits can also be carried out prior to a company acquisition in order to evaluate the performance of a potential acquisition target—particularly with regard to compliance with aviation regulatory requirements and the status of its quality management system.
