Aviation Safety Solutions Unveils Free FAA Part 5 SMS Gap Checklist
Aviation Safety Solutions, a recognized leader in aviation safety consulting, has launched a complimentary FAA Part 5 SMS Gap Checklist. This resource is specifically designed for aviation operators to navigate the newly instituted Safety Management System (SMS) rule by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The free checklist is poised to simplify compliance and enhance operational safety for a diverse range of aviation organizations.
The FAA Part 5 SMS Gap Checklist has been meticulously crafted by industry experts, leveraging insights from current FAA regulations and inspector audit questions. It transforms the comprehensive FAA regulations detailed in 14 CFR Part 5 into user-friendly, actionable items. By breaking down complex safety protocols into clear segments, this tool allows operators to conduct internal evaluations, spotlight compliance gaps, and ensure confidence in their preparedness for FAA oversight.
“Our mission at Aviation Safety Solutions is to simplify the challenging journey of SMS implementation and compliance,” stated Amanda Ferraro, CEO of the company. “We understand that many small and mid-sized aviation firms may find these regulations daunting, especially if they are experiencing them for the first time. This checklist empowers operators to build or verify their SMS effectively.”
The checklist encompasses all four key elements of the SMS framework: Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion. Each component is addressed with the goal of facilitating a thorough understanding and practical application of the regulations. This structured approach ensures that operators can efficiently track their compliance status and take proactive measures to address any deficiencies.
As the FAA mandates the SMS framework, which is set to bolster aviation safety across the board, the introduction of this gap checklist comes as a timely resource for operators eager to meet regulatory expectations. The FAA Part 5 SMS Gap Checklist is now freely accessible via the Aviation Safety Solutions Training Academy website, allowing users to download and utilize it conveniently in their compliance efforts.
