How does our SMS service work?

Get all the benefits of what an SMS is really meant to do – help identify hazards and mitigate risks for your organization. SMS documentation is promptly processed and kept current by your direct specialist. Meanwhile, your personnel have more time to focus on their primary jobs (and have more work-life balance), yet they still participate in identifying hazards and developing corrective actions – they just don't have to do the paperwork.

  1. Reap the rewards of REACTIVE information with your Safety Hazard Reports completed. The Root Causes of your incident are identified and Corrective Actions are clearly identified to make your operations safer.

  2. Your operations become PROACTIVE in identifying your exposure to hazards with meaningful Flight Risk Assessment Tools (FRAT) and guidance with Change Management of upcoming or unexpected changes to your operations. And with guided Safety Meetings and Compliance Monitoring.

  3. Your operations become truly PREDICTIVE with customized Safety Performance Indicators (SPI) and Safety Performance Targets (SPT) based upon your own operational data, as well as data from outside safety resources. Also newly discovered Root Causes are hypothetically projected throughout your organization.

  4. We are Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) and Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) experts. We effortlessly get you set up for FOQA and provide FDM reports for you.

  5. Your personnel will become more effective by truly UNDERSTANDING SMS with training and counseling on what is going on in your flight department.
