Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Safety Management Systems (SMS)

Our SMS eLearning module is designed to introduce and overview the SMS concept and how it can enhance safety culture in a flight operation. The module is organized around the four components of SMS: Policy, Risk Management, Assurance, and Promotion. This training is appropriate for all flight operations personnel, not just aircrews, and the content can be customized to your organization’s specific process, procedures, and SMS program.
Versions of the SMS module are available for: 

  • Administrative Personnel 
  • Executives 
  • Flight Attendants 
  • Line Service 
  • Maintenance 
  • Pilots – Fixed Wing 
  • Pilots – Rotor Wing 
  • Safety Managers 
  • Scheduler/Dispatcher/Flight Coordinator 
  • UAS

The SMS module can be used for one hour of credit towards IA Renewal. FAA Course Acceptance Number: C-IND-IM-160330-K-006-002. 

  • The NBAA Management Guide (section 2.4) recommends advanced flight crew training above and beyond the regulatory requirements of the FAA as a best practice. That recommendation specifically cites Safety Management System training. This training module satisfies the NBAA recommendation.

The SMS for Safety Managers module has been accepted by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) to meet the IS-BAO/IS-BAH auditor training requirements for "completion of an SMS training course" as defined in the appendix to the Audit Procedures Manual. 

 

All FAR Part 135 operators must have a Safety Management System by May 28, 2027. The FAA expanded FAR Part 5 to require a Safety Management System via additional guidance in Advisory Circular AC 120-92 for single-pilot organizations. For operators of large and turbojet aircraft that operate internationally, an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) mandate requires an SMS. This training module is responsive to both FAA and ICAO perspectives and their supporting documents. 
Holders approved to conduct air tours are required to implement a Safety Management System.  Both the NTSB and the FAA encourage corporate operators to develop and implement an SMS. For operators of large and turbojet aircraft that operate internationally, the ICAO mandate requires an SMS. This training module is responsive to both FAA and ICAO perspectives and their supporting documents. The module meets the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) SMS training requirements as defined in Chapter 3. The Business Aviation Safety Consortium (BASC) standard NX 19 4.1 requires SMS training.
