In a long-anticipated move, the FAA has updated 14 CFR Part 5, now mandating that specific certificate holders and commercial air tour operators establish and implement a Safety Management System (SMS) by May 28, 2027. This proactive measure aims to improve the detection and management of safety risks in daily operations.

Who Needs to Comply

Part 135 commuter and on-demand operations
Part 91.147 commercial air tour operators
Certain Part 21 production certificate holders

What the Mandate Requires

Aviation organizations must develop and implement a comprehensive SMS that complies with the FAA's requirements.
For detailed information about the mandate, visit the FAA's official newsroom page, and consult the specific regulatory details in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Additional guidance is available in the FAA Advisory Circular.
