| FAA Rule Requires Safety
Management Systems for
Airlines |
 To reach the next level of safety, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
has issued a final rule that requires most
U.S. commercial airlines to have Safety
Management Systems (SMS) in place by
2018.
The rule builds on the programs many
airlines already use to identify and reduce
aviation risk.
SMS is the formal, top-down, organization-
wide approach to managing safety
risk and assuring the effectiveness of
safety risk controls. It gives airlines a set of
business processes and management tools
to examine data gathered from everyday
operations, isolate trends that may be precursors
to incidents or accidents, take steps
to mitigate the risk, and verify the effectiveness
of the program.
