360 Aviation Solution has a free app for the iPad that serves as a Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT). The app works in English and Spanish and is in the form of a questionnaire, which helps the operator determine a risk factor for each individual flight. Once the operator has answered 41 simple “yes or no” questions, the app produces a PDF that can be stored, printed or emailed. The company says its FRAT complies with IS-BAO/SMS requirements.
ETS Aviation has formed a carbon trading partnership with CF Partners (U.K.) LLP, a London commodities trading house that specializes in the trading of carbon emissions credits. ETS Aviation's “Carbon Exchanger” will provide airlines and aviation operators with access to the carbon market regardless of their size or the volume of credits they are looking to trade. www.etsaviation.com
