The UK's Air Charter Scotland has become the latest operator to deploy Total AOC's Centrik management system. Having originally approached Total AOC to assist in completing manuals for the EASA transition, the Glasgow-based charter company subsequently decided to use the software to deliver improvements on its safety management system.

Flight ops director Gary Pottage says: “When Centrik was introduced to us, we knew immediately it was something we really wanted. It's a great management tool because it closes the loop.

“You have complete visibility of everything going on within your operations and can track the progress of allocated tasks. There is no risk of anything, no matter how small, falling through the cracks.”

He adds: “Centrik also comes with a ready-built safety management system, which was an improvement on the good system we already had. It has been extremely helpful and has proved an essential part of our business.”

Air Charter Scotland operates a fleet of nine aircraft ranging from Citation IIs to Legacy 650s.
