the true tenants of SMS within the business, the actual risks of
aircraft maintenance are addressed in the overarching behaviors
and processes before they require you to actually perform the tasks. "
While having an SMS is not required by the FAA for all operators,
the current guidelines could change. " SMS mandates vary by
countries and types of operators, " said Baron. " As far as the U.S.
goes, SMS is currently mandatory for Part 121 airlines and Part 139
airports. While SMS is currently voluntary for other types of operators,
including MROs, non-Part 121 airlines and Part 135 charter
companies, it is very likely that the FAA will also mandate an SMS
for these types of operators in the very near future. "
Performance Benefits
The benefits of implementing an SMS extend well beyond the realm
of safety, says Wade. " An SMS program will enhance the functioning
of every aspect of your organization, no matter how big or small. "
Rufli agrees, noting the important role company culture plays
in leveraging SMS technology. " There's no doubt, an SMS improves
your business as much as it does your safety. Ultimately, it gets back
to culture. What you are trying to do here is take each experience
and document it, so everyone in the organization is working off
the same playbook - and so there is no wiggle room for anyone
