ACCG develops Hazardous Materials (HazMat) manuals and programs for air operators that either transport hazardous materials as cargo or COMAT (Will-Carry), or maintain a will-not-carry policy (no HazMat acceptance as cargo) (Will-Not-Carry), aligned with DOT and FAA requirements.
HazMat manuals are developed to align with applicable U.S. DOT hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR Parts 171–180) and FAA requirements under your operating rule (e.g., 14 CFR Part 135), with content structured to support your OpSpecs and inspector expectations.
Whether your operation is authorized to accept hazardous materials for transport (Will-Carry), or you operate under a will-not-carry policy, you still need clear, documented policies, crew procedures, and training. ACCG builds HazMat manuals that match your authorization, aircraft, and routes, and that support your OpSpecs and inspector expectations.
For operators authorized to carry hazardous materials in cargo, baggage, or COMAT, with a formal HazMat program and trained HazMat employees.
For operators that do not accept hazardous materials as cargo and rely on clear “no acceptance” procedures, signage, and crew training.
Will-Carry HazMat programs describe how your organization accepts, handles, and transports hazardous materials in compliance with 49 CFR and your FAA approvals. ACCG builds manuals that are usable on the line and defensible in an inspection or investigation.
Clear policy statements, management responsibilities, and program scope, including which classes of hazardous materials you are authorized to transport.
Step-by-step acceptance procedures for HazMat cargo and COMAT, documentation checks, and coordination with shippers and ground service providers.
Loading, segregation, stowage, and securing requirements written to your aircraft types, including special loads and operational restrictions.
Procedures for company material (COMAT) such as aircraft parts, tires, oil, batteries, and other items that may meet HazMat definitions.
Practical checklists for spills, leaks, undeclared hazardous materials, and in-flight events, with required notification and reporting steps.
Training categories, intervals, and recordkeeping language to support your HazMat training program and oversight requirements.
Will-Not-Carry operators still need clear procedures so that passenger baggage, cargo, and COMAT are screened for hazardous materials, and so crews know what to do when prohibited items are discovered or declared.
Straightforward policy language stating that the operator does not accept hazardous materials as cargo, with any allowed exceptions described as needed.
Guidance for questions, signage, and visual checks so crews and customer-service personnel can identify potential hazardous materials before loading.
Procedures when suspected or confirmed hazardous materials are found, including removal, coordination with the shipper or passenger, and notifications.
Policy and procedures for company material and aircraft supplies so that items that do meet HazMat definitions are handled correctly or not carried.
Expectations for charter brokers, handlers, and FBOs to support your Will-Not-Carry policy and avoid inadvertent acceptance of hazardous materials.
Training outlines to make sure crews can recognize hazardous materials, apply the Will-Not-Carry policy, and document actions taken.
Beyond the manuals themselves, ACCG helps you keep your HazMat program current and integrated with your other systems, including digital distribution through myFLIGHTDATA.
Support for revisions when regulations, OpSpecs, or your operation change.
Assistance with FAA questions and comments, including clarification letters and updated manual language.
Host HazMat manuals and forms within myFLIGHTDATA for controlled access and version management.
Tie HazMat procedures into your safety reporting (eSMS) and oversight programs (eCASS) for a closed-loop system.
HazMat programs are scrutinized closely by regulators. ACCG focuses on concise, usable documentation that is aligned with current regulations and tailored to your operation.
