Applicable To Commercial And Non-Commercial Aircraft
The NBAA released "Twelve Steps to
an Effective Safety Management System: A Review of the
Fundamentals" Thursday, which outlines the basic steps necessary to
prepare a comprehensive and effective Safety Management System
(SMS). With a formalized SMS, any commercial or non-commercial
aircraft operator can proactively identify and mitigate potential
safety risks.
This is just one in a series of resources NBAA makes available to
help operators comply with the new International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) SMS requirements for large and turbo-jet
operations. However, "NBAA advocates that aircraft operators of all
sizes implement an SMS - even those only flying domestically," said
Doug Carr, NBAA Vice President, Safety, Security and Regulation.
"That is why we are making these guidelines available to all
members of the aviation community, not just NBAA Members."
The International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations
(IS-BAO) incorporates a full SMS system scalable to operations of
all sizes that conform to private or commercial regulatory
structures. IS-BAO is the only business aviation industry
standard recognized internationally for meeting SMS
requirements.
"Twelve Steps to an Effective Safety Management System: A
Review of the Fundamentals" is based on ICAO SMS requirements and
industry best practices, and shows how an organization can fly more
efficiently and safely.
"Implementation of an SMS will help aircraft operators meet
global operating standards," Carr said.
