Increasing numbers of business aviation flight departments are realizing the advantages of implementing safety management systems (SMS). While developing an SMS may not be a simple or quick process, such programs, when properly utilized, can yield tangible safety benefits for a diverse range of operators. “SMS works well because it’s scalable,” notes FlexJet’s Tim Wade. “It doesn’t matter who is utilizing it. If you implement it correctly, audit it properly and you hold true to the continuous improvement aspect of SMS, it’s going to work well.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Amanda Ferraro, CAM, CEO of Aviation Safety Solutions
- Charles Tresky, senior customer success manager with AviationManuals
- Tim Wade, director of safety at FlexJet
