SERVICES
MAC provides the following services to the GA industry:

Regulatory Support
Aviation-related regulations and policies are constantly changing. MAC provides regulatory support to aviation trade associations and other organizations by drafting responses to new or proposed regulations and policies; developing member guidance; and coordinating testimony or presentations.

Compliance Guidance
Keeping up with changing regulations and policies can become a full-time job for the members of the GA industry, particularly part 135 charter operators. MAC conducts pre-inspection gap assessments, manual reviews, and other activities related to federal regulation compliance to help ensure your operation is in line with applicable requirements. MAC also assists eVTOL manufacturers and future operators in developing sound operational plans to ensure regulatory compliance.

Safety
Safety is a top priority for much of the GA industry, but how do you know if your organization is conducting the safest possible operations? MAC performs gap assessments, pre-audit analysis (i.e. for the International Business Aviation Operators Council [IBAC] International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations [IS-BAO] or the Air Charter Safety Foundation’s [ACSF’s] Industry Audit Standard), safety manual development, and emergency response planning assistance.

Security
MAC conducts security-related gap assessments and develops security plans for aircraft operators, GA airports, or fixed base operators (FBOs) not required to hold a formal security program. This includes promotion of industry best practices for security and preparation for the upcoming Large Aircraft Security Program. For GA operators seeking access to Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA), MAC is also a leading expert in the DCA Access Standard Security Program.

Education
MAC also provides on-site, customized training events for general aviation companies on topics like doing business in the part 135 environment, operational control, pilot flight and duty time, and more.
