Taking a Look at the NPRM for SMS

January 23, 2023 • Jason Starke • Season 2 • Episode 5

As expected, the FAA released proposed rules (NPRM) about expanding Safety Management System (SMS) requirements to certain Part 121 certificate holders and others. Host Jason Starke read the NPRM and shares his initial thoughts on the proposal.

The NPRM directly addresses SMS requirements for Part 135 air charter operations and companies holding a letter of authorization to conduct air tour operations (under Part 91.147).

Deadline for comment is March 13, 2023.
