L&A has continuously conducted initial and recurrent BARS audits on behalf of aircraft-, RPAS operators and airlines serving the Resource (mining)
sector. The BAR Standard is a risk-based standard of industry best practices specified by the Resources sector.

BARS has matured under the direction of the BARS Programme Office (BPO) in Melbourne, Australia. What started with four BARS Member Organisations (BMO) (mining companies) has now grown to over 30 BMOs. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of representatives from the BMOs steers the direction of the BARS programme.

The Audit Companies (ACs) meet with the BPO and with the TAC every 6 months to ensure that Standards are aligned across the spectrum of activities.

Non-scheduled aircraft operators and airlines can progress from an initial Green level to Silver and Gold levels in the programme and it has been a great pleasure for L&A to assist and guide aircraft operators and airlines through this process over the years.
