Safety

Our Commitment to Safety

TMC’s commitment to the safety and security of every client is reflected in our fleet's safety record, which is among the highest in the industry. As a participant of the FAA’s Safety Management System Pilot Project, we send a clear message that we are committed to investing any resources necessary to ensure the safety of our passengers and employees.

Pilot Training and Certification

In order to attract and retain a team of highly skilled, experienced crewmembers from every area of the aviation industry, we strive to provide an outstanding training experience, top-of-the-line equipment and competitive compensation packages.

Our pilots have an average of 8,000 flight hours. Newly hired crewmembers must satisfy strict performance standards beginning with, initial indoctrination, full motion level “D” flight simulator training, and a comprehensive initial operating experience program with a qualified standards captain. Captains and first officers annually participate in FlightSafety International recurrent flight simulator training, company indoctrination, and captains must pass a check-ride in their assigned aircraft type every six months. We are proud to say our pilots operate under strict FAA guidelines as well as published company standard operating procedures to ensure a safe and predictable flight experience.

Safety Ratings

ARG/US Platinum, the highest level of ARG/US safety ratings, is awarded to those operators who meet the criteria for Silver and Gold and successfully pass an ARG/US on-site safety audit. The ARG/US audit is administered biennially by trained and experienced aviation auditing professionals who evaluate the operator against industry best practice standards.
A Platinum ARG/US rating requires us to have:

  • a functioning Safety Management System
  • a clear and workable Emergency Response Plan, and
  • documented standards and records for all major aspects of flight and maintenance operations within the airline
Wyvern Wingman, a status granted from the global aviation safety auditing, consulting and information services company Wyvern, requires operating standards that far exceed government regulatory requirements. The Wyvern Wingman status requires:
  • a two- to three-day on-site audit that reviews flight and maintenance operations and the airline’s safety management system,
  • post-audit aircraft and crew reviews, and
  • daily verification throughout the life of the recommendation

IS-BAO

The International Standard for Business Aviation Operations is based on global standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and a code of best practices designed to assist flight departments worldwide to achieve a high level of safety and professionalism.
