For operators with personnel constraints, this program acts as a full-time safety officer confirming your SMS is being fully documented and effectively managed, while ensuring conformity to the standard. Reports, trend monitoring and training, as well as other administrative functions are accomplished by our staff, which frees up your time to focus on the business of flying.
The program is robust and includes an annual safety evaluation that uses industry best practices and other standards to ensure you are fully benefiting and complying with your SMS. The program includes the following services:
- Monthly safety training bulletins
- Applicable forms, reports and documentation
- Specific FOQA data is collected and analyzed, (submitted on a one page form we provide)
- Quarterly internal audit protocols and checklist are provided and reviewed upon completion
- ARP management is available for operators who request it
- Schedule quarterly safety committee meetings that provide itenarary and documentation
- An annual Confirmation of Conformity declaration is provided
- SMS manuals, ARP, COM are each updated annually or as needed
- 24/7 SMS support services
The reporting process has been simplified and is completed online or via text. (The typical time it takes to complete the FRAT and form is 90 seconds). Once we receive the document, our team will review it and retain it for future reference. The entire process is documented with recommendations and applicable reports completed within 48 hours. While the program does eliminate the time-consuming aspects of report writing and other documentation, operators are still responsible for submitting observations and events on the one page form we provide or by calling or emailing us. Some of the forms we generate and document are:
- Corrective Action Request
- Information Report
- Irregularity Reports
- Near Miss Reports
- Accident and Incident Investigations
- Deviation from SOP Report
- FOQA Trend Monitoring Reports
- ASAP Reports
Most part 91 departments are very hesitant to involve the owner or corporate HR departments when internal personnel and other issues occur. We have found that much of our time is devoted to facilitating and building teams through a process that looks more like marriage counseling than anything else. It has been extremely effective and has saved more than one flight department from being destroyed. That service is provided to you as part of the CMP.
The entire program cost less than what you pay for one individual audit each year and many of our long term customers have reported they received lower your insurance premiums as a result of being in the program. Of course, the real benefit and value comes from having professional third-party oversight to ensure you are doing what you should be doing, but due to staffing constraints and other factors beyond your control, you cannot.
As part of the CMP, you receive SMS training that ensures you understand the program and we also provide your designated onsite SMS Manager with additional training. Once your team has put us on their speed dial, your documentation and support begins immediately. Simple and effective way to manage your program.
