How does the Service evaluate the Aviation Management Program?
Working with the Department, we have a systematic process for evaluating the effectiveness of our Aviation Management Program. A. The NBC AM conducts the Aviation Evaluation Program outlined in Operational Procedures Memorandum 06-33. The evaluation program gives the Director an independent appraisal of our aviation management and safety programs. Each Region is evaluated every 5 years. The evaluation team gives the Regional Director a written report of its findings and recommendations. The NBC AM Evaluation Manager coordinates with the Service Aviation Manager to make sure the Regions take appropriate corrective actions. B. The Service Aviation Manager must evaluate our aviation performance data (total flying hours by Program, Region, and aircraft) each fiscal year to ensure we are conducting our aviation operations in the most efficient, effective, and economical manner possible.
