Summary: As NBAA has previously reported, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recently called upon ICAO member states to require commercial and non-commercial operators to have a Safety Management System (SMS) in place, and several countries have established SMS rules for NBAA Members. Although adoption of an SMS remains voluntary in the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has formed an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) to consider workable implementation procedures for the industry. NBAA has been invited to participate in the committee, giving Association Members a voice in the process. In this episode of the NBAA Flight Plan podcast, Doug Carr, Vice President for Safety & Regulation, discusses what he's telling his fellow ARC panelists.
