Welcome Aboard!
The Aviation Consulting Group (TACG) is a global
leader in aviation safety training, consulting and research. Founded in
2000 by company President and Chief Consultant
Dr. Robert Baron,
and with offices in Myrtle Beach, SC and Fort Lauderdale, FL, TACG has
grown to be a respected international firm with clients ranging from small,
family-operated turbine repair facilities all the way up to some of the
largest aircraft manufacturers and airlines in the world.
Practical Experience and Applied Research
TACG is a unique aviation safety consulting firm
in that we not only have the practical experience and qualifications to
serve our clients but we also conduct extensive applied research in the
areas of Human Factors,
CRM,
LOSA, and
Safety Management Systems. Our
research is regularly published in some of the most prestigious air safety magazines
and peer-reviewed academic journals. One of our clients says, "It's
a real advantage
to be able to work with a firm that actually contributes to cutting-edge research in aviation
safety." We agree! Our research findings and results are constantly
incorporated into our training courses and consulting engagements, which
keeps our material timely and relevant.
Focused Training and Consulting
In addition to our worldwide presence and
experience, TACG conducts focused aviation safety training and consulting in
some of the most challenging and demanding parts of the world. These areas
include Africa, Asia, and the South America/Caribbean regions. We are experienced and
in tune with the specific nuances of flight operations in these challenging
areas. We work with various types of organizations (i.e., airlines,
airports, ATC, CAA's) to improve the safety and efficiency of air transport
operations.
Long Term Relationships
(example)
The
Aviation Consulting Group has been working with a Caribbean
airline (150 employees) since 2008. The airline operates a mix of
turboprops and jets, is based in the southern Caribbean, and flies
to multiple Caribbean islands as well as locations in Venezuela,
Colombia and Panama.
TACG has
been working on a contractual basis to provide CRM courses to the
airline's pilots and flight attendants as well as Human Factors
courses to its maintenance engineers. TACG was also instrumental
in the implementation and deployment of the airline's functional
Safety Management System and continues to provide training in SMS
for all company employees. The airline is currently in the process
of implementing and deploying a flight LOSA program, with the
assistance of TACG, which will include training for the airline's
LOSA observers. Additionally, TACG has been gathering and
analyzing specific safety data which are used to continuously
improve the airline's SMS, human factors, CRM and LOSA training
programs.
TACG can provide this type of service to your aviation
organization/airline as well. Feel free to contact us if you would
like additional information or a letter of recommendation from
this or any one of our many satisfied clients.
