Safety Management System (SMS): A Necessity for Aircraft Operators

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) now mandates that aircraft operators implement a Safety Management System (SMS) (See FAA Requirements). This requirement reflects a shift towards proactive safety management in aviation, aiming to prevent accidents and incidents before they occur. Air Carrier Compliance Group (ACCG) is your trusted partner in navigating these new regulations and ensuring your operations meet the highest safety standards.

What is a Safety Management System (SMS)?

An SMS is a structured approach to managing safety risks. It provides a framework for identifying potential hazards, assessing and mitigating risks, and continuously improving safety performance. The FAA emphasizes the importance of SMS in fostering a proactive safety culture within aviation organizations (See FAA Required Components).
