Platinum Rating - The highest level of ARG/US safety rating is awarded to those operators who meet the criteria for Silver and Gold, and successfully pass either an ARG/US on-site safety audit, or a recent Department of Defense (DoD) Air Carrier Quality and Safety inspection. The ARG/US audit is conducted identically to a DoD audit by former DoD inspectors. This is a constructive, operational and system oriented evaluation to help identify and correct potential deficiencies or safety issues.
