What is Baldwin Aviation's Safety Management Program?

Baldwin Aviation's comprehensive Safety Management Program, SMSprime, consists of the following: Operations Manuals (SMS; Standards; etc.); Emergency Response Plan; Safety Barometer®; E-Surveys; Safety related customized e-forms (flight risk assessment, maintenance risk, operator profile, waiver, etc.); Support Services Program; JetDesk®; and web-site resources. If you wish to use YOUR operations manuals, we are able to upload them as part of the all-inclusive Baldwin Aviation Safety Management Program.


The only SMS implementor to have earned IS-BAO registration for its Safety Management and Compliance Program, Baldwin helps you adopt IS-BAO best practices and then, if you so choose, earn IS-BAO certification under the Baldwin umbrella within just 3 to 4 months. Our clients enjoy the benefits and security of a tailored, high-quality safety management program without breaking the bank.

Aviation International News Operational Alert on October 12, 2006 stated the following:

"Having made the recommendation that all types of aircraft operators adopt a safety management system, the FAA is now considering a rule mandating SMS. James Ballough, FAA director of Flight Standards Service, revealed at the Bombardier Safety Standdown in Wichita, Kans., last week that the agency would like to make SMS mandatory but offered no details on the timing of a potential rulemaking. To get an idea of what may be required if SMS becomes law, see SMS advisory circular, AC 120-92."
