Safety

We strive to operate above and beyond

Safety, security, regulatory compliance, and quality. As a longstanding leader in private aviation, these are Pentastar’s top priorities at all times. They inspire our actions as we continue setting the standard for world-class aviation services.

We strive to operate above and beyond FAA and international regulatory standards. The safety designations bestowed upon us reflect our organization’s commitment and adherence to regulations and established industry procedures, and ensures our processes are certified and continuously monitored and improved.

Safety Management System (SMS) is a quality management approach to controlling flight-related risks by providing accessible tools for monitoring safety-related processes. Pentastar Aviation’s own Safety Management System incorporates operational risk profiling with internal evaluation and quality assurance concepts, resulting in more structured management and continuous improvement in contingency operations. In addition, our robust SMS highlights our steadfast commitment to safety, ensuring secure ramp access and a safe environment for anyone who enters our facility.

Pentastar Aviation has a well-documented Emergency Response Plan in place, should an emergency situation occur. We care about our employees and clients and regularly review our protocols and procedures and conduct practice drills to test our preparedness. Our priority will always be first and foremost to protect people and ensure we are ready, responsive, and able to spring into action quickly.
