Hawker Pacific New Zealand Achieves SMS Certification
The company drew on the experience of sister companies in Asia and Australia.

Hawker Pacific NZ has become the first aviation company in New Zealand to be certified by the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand under CAR Part 100, in addition to the first to achieve Part 147 certification (maintenance training) in-country. The New Zealand CAA recently implemented Rule Part 100, which requires organizations holding operational certificates to implement and become certified as having a safety management system (SMS) in place. The agency used the mature Hawker Pacific SMS as an opportunity to develop and test its own skills and processes before going live with other New Zealand-based clients.
