Who We Are

RISE SMS is a modern, intuitive Safety Management System built specifically for aviation teams that are serious about improving safety—not just meeting minimum compliance.


We were founded on the idea that aviation safety tools should be accessible, intelligent, and user-friendly. Too many systems are outdated, hard to use, and ultimately ignored by the people they were meant to serve.


RISE SMS is a system designed to scale with you—whether you are running a charter operation, maintaining aircraft, training new pilots, or managing a busy airport. Our platform helps your team identify hazards, mitigate risks, track trends, and promote a strong, proactive safety culture at every level of your organization.


Safety should always be moving in one direction—up. With the right tools and a connected team, your safety performance can continually improve. RISE SMS helps aviation departments put safety on the rise.


RISE SMS – Elevate Safety, Everywhere.

What We Believe

We believe that aviation safety should be a shared responsibility—one that’s enabled, not hindered, by technology.


We believe compliance is only the beginning. The true goal is a culture where safety is second nature, and people feel empowered to speak up, take action, and continuously improve.


We believe safety software should be something your team actually wants to use—clear, fast, collaborative, and meaningful.


And above all, we believe in keeping people safe. That’s why we exist.

Who We Are

To be the most trusted Safety Management System in aviation—connecting teams, technology, and insight to protect lives and raise the bar for safety across the industry.

Our Core Values

  • Safety First. Our purpose is to ensure everyone—on the ground or in the air—goes home safely. Every feature we build and decision we make is rooted in this mission.

     

  • Simplicity Drives Action. The best safety tools are the ones people actually use. We believe in clarity, speed, and intuitive design that removes friction, not adds to it.

     

  • Excellence Always. We strive for quality in everything—product, support, documentation, and relationships. We are not committed to be “great,” but to be the best.

     

  • Supportive of Real Teams. Safety doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We design for collaboration across flight crews, maintenance, training, and airport ops—because your team is the system.

Who We Serve

We build tools that work for real people doing real work in complex, high-stakes environments. Our customers operate under FAR Parts 91, 135, 125, 139, 141, and 145.

We can help you satisfy the FAA Part 5 SMS Mandate.    Learn More

Flight Crews (Parts 91, 125, 135)

Pilots, copilots, and dispatchers—whether flying under Parts 91, 125, or 135—are on the front line of every operation. They need tools that don’t slow them down—tools that are easy, intuitive, and efficient. With the RISE SMS platform, flight crews can quickly complete FRATs, report hazards, and stay connected to key safety communications from any device, even on the go.

We’ve designed RISE SMS to be mobile-first, pilot-friendly, and FAA-aligned—so safety reporting becomes a habit, not a chore. Our dashboards give pilots the clarity they need without the clutter, while enabling dispatchers and safety managers to spot trends, take action, and keep risk levels visible in real time.

Maintenance Teams and Repair Stations (Part 145)

Your aircraft are only as safe as your maintenance program. For Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMTs), directors of maintenance, and repair station managers, RISE SMS delivers visibility, accountability, and automation.

Our platform helps maintenance teams track recurring discrepancies, identify root causes, and manage corrective actions with full traceability. Whether you’re preparing for an internal audit or responding to a regulatory finding, RISE gives you audit-ready records and clear workflows—so nothing falls through the cracks.

For FAA Part 145 Repair Stations, we support internal evaluations, ensure regulatory alignment, and allow safety managers to focus on continuous improvement, not paperwork.

Flight Training Programs (Part 141)

Flight schools have a unique challenge: balancing rigorous training with a strong safety culture. With RISE SMS, flight training organizations can ensure safety oversight scales alongside student growth.

Instructors and students can easily report issues, submit safety forms, and complete risk assessments directly from their devices—removing friction from the reporting process and encouraging participation from day one. Behind the scenes, safety managers can track trends across lessons, instructors, and aircraft types to proactively adjust curriculum or procedures.

RISE SMS helps Part 141 programs demonstrate accountability, build trust with regulators and student pilots, and produce safer, more informed pilots.

Airports (Part 139)

Airports operate in fast-moving environments with many stakeholders—from ground ops to fueling teams to airside operations. RISE SMS acts as a centralized command center for safety across the entire airport operation.

Staff can report hazards or unsafe conditions directly from the ramp—anonymously and instantly—using QR codes. Safety teams can assign inspections, automate follow-ups, and conduct internal audits using custom checklists. Leadership gets access to real-time dashboards that reveal risk trends and help justify changes to procedures, infrastructure, or resourcing.

For Part 139-certified airports, RISE SMS simplifies compliance while enhancing your ability to detect change, evaluate performance, and prevent incidents before they occur.
