SMS Implementation & Training

Do you have the experience and staff resources to implement a Safety Management System (SMS) that meets all of your internal, market, and regulatory requirements? If not, AeroDirections has the experience and resources to work as part of your team to help you through the process. Assistance available with FAA SMSVP, IS-BAO, HAI-APS, EASA Part NCC and commercial UAS/RPAS.

AeroDirections has implementation experience with over 50 aviation and aerospace organizations on five continents including large and on-demand air carriers, business aviation operators, repair stations, airports, training organizations and design and production approval holders.

No SMS implementation will be successful without targeted, comprehensive training for your frontline and leadership teams. We will assist you in defining your training objectives and delivering fit-for-purpose training services.

Safety Risk Management and Bowtie Services

Is your operation safe? How do you know? If these two questions make you nervous, we need to talk.

The Safety Risk Management (SRM) is often the least understood component of the SMS. It also has the potential to be the most valuable as it helps answer these two questions. The FAA SRM model follows the ISO31000 international risk management standard, providing a robust process for identifying, understanding, and controlling the hazard-based risk in your organization.

AeroDirections can help you build a strong SRM process, identifying your greatest operational risks, and providing the tools and techniques to manage and continuously monitor your operational risk.

We incorporate the Bowtie method and tools to help you visualize your risk exposure and align it with your risk tolerance, leveraging our value-added partnership for Wolters Kluwer, provider of the BowTie Suite family of risk management tools.

Safety Audits and Assessments
