Constant Aviation said the FAA has accepted its fully functional safety management system (SMS) as being in “active conformance” with the Part 5 Voluntary SMS Program, which is the final step in the regulator’s SMS process. As such, Constant is the fourth MRO out of the more than 4,500 maintenance organizations nationally and the first independent business jet MRO Part 145 repair station to achieve the designation for aviation maintenance safety and risk mitigation.
