As attention has sharpened on aviation safety in the wake of widely reported close calls last year, AviationManuals is seeing a jump in business for its safety management systems (SMS) programs. The safety and documents specialist has witnessed a 26 percent increase in participation in its ARC Safety Management System programs over the past six months. This increase also comes as the FAA’s SMS rulemaking is looming for Part 135, air tours, and manufacturers.

Operators are increasingly prioritizing a proactive approach to safety through SMS software to stay ahead of risks, AviationManals maintained. The industry remains safe but is always striving to improve, the organization added.
