NBAA Cautions FAA on Part 135 SMS Proposal
In a letter, NBAA asks the FAA to ensure an SMS proposal for Part 135 operators is scalable, does not impose costly mandates, and protects safety programs.

NBAA is appealing to the FAA to ensure that its upcoming rulemaking requiring safety management systems (SMS) for Part 135 operators does not disrupt safety measures already in place, is scalable, and does not impose additional mandates such as for flight data monitoring. The FAA is anticipating releasing a proposal next year to require SMS for Part 135 operators, repair stations, and manufacturers.
