My company has asked me to conduct an internal audit along the lines of a NASIP or RASIP inspection (this is the FAA term for an in-depth inspection of a 121 or 135 operator; NASIP means National Aviation Safety Inspection Program). I have been told that I would be protected from any backlash (these things always uncover problems, even more than the ones I can name off the top of my head), but such protection can only go so far. I would be paid flight pay for my time.

This is a big mark of respect, but it's a big risk, too, because of the chance to make a lot of enemies.

My impression is that this is the kind of job best done by outside consultants. Does anyone have any experience with such consultants? Does anyone have any idea of how much they charge?

It seems like a lot of work, a lot of risk, no upside, big downside, and not a lot of money for the trouble. Any stories of your experiences in such matters would be helpful!
 
I ended up having to re-write the drug program for the company I used to work for after they were audited by the FAA. STAY AWAY FROM THAT KIND OF THING!!!!! It is a nightmare. You will have to put more effort into it than you think is reasonable. Plus, you run the risk of being held accountable for the company's mistakes... (I think).....

If you absolutely have to do the work on the audit, make it known to the inspector that you're just the messenger so you don't end up in the frying pan too.
