SMS is a management system for integrating aviation safety activities into normal day-to-day business practices. ICAO & FAA envision aviation service providers will integrate SMS into their operations and management as a systematic risk-based and process-oriented approach to managing safety; including changes to necessary organizational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures. ICAO has mandated and FAA has been considering SMS rulemaking to enhance the practice of managing safety and oversight of that management. Such an approach stresses not only compliance with technical standards, but increases emphasis on those aviation risk management systems that ensure risk management and safety assurance.

“As of November 23, 2006 States shall require, as part of their safety programme, that an [operator, maintenance organization, ATS provider, certified aerodrome] implements a safety management system (SMS) accepted by the State that, as a minimum:
  • Identifies safety hazards.
  • Ensures that remedial action necessary to maintain an acceptable level of safety is implemented.
  • Provides for continuous monitoring and regular assessment of the safety level achieved.
  • Aims to make continuous improvement to the overall level of safety.” 

On June 22, 2006, AC 120-92 was published establishing the guidelines for the use of safety management systems (SMS) in the aviation industry. This AC is non-regulatory in nature and intended to provide guidance to aviation industry participants (air carrier certificate holders, program managers, operators, repair stations, etc.) in the development and/or use of an SMS. 


At the core of the IS-BAO is a company Safety Management System (SMS). The IS-BAO requires that flight departments implement an SMS. The goal of the SMS is to manage safety risks effectively.
Guidelines have been developed to assist business aircraft operators to:
  • identify the hazards and categorize the risks related to their operations,
  • develop and document mitigations,
  • track and measure the results of their activities.
