Proactive Safety for Air Tour Operators


Scalable safety tools for high-volume, high-visibility operations.


Commercial air tours are held to a high standard—and not just by the FAA. Passengers expect professionalism, pilots rely on structure, and your team needs real-time visibility into risks. Whether you operate helicopters over national parks or fixed-wing tours along the coast, RISE SMS helps you manage risk and maintain safety without slowing your business down.


Safety That Works for Your Operation


Air tours run on tight schedules, tight margins, and public trust. RISE SMS gives you a scalable, FAA-aligned safety solution designed for the unique demands of 91.147 operations. From pre-flight risk assessments to hazard tracking and team-wide safety promotions, we help you stay ahead of issues while delivering unforgettable—and safe—experiences.


Tools That Support High-Tempo Ops


When you're managing multiple flights, multiple pilots, and a high volume of passengers, safety has to be baked into your routine. Our platform helps you:


✔ Run customizable, aircraft- and route-specific risk assessments before each flight 

✔ Track weather, aircraft status, pilot readiness, and other key risk factors 

✔ Log and resolve hazards with minimal administrative effort 

✔ Push out timely safety reminders and operational updates to your entire team

Risk Management That Moves at Your Speed


Safety shouldn't slow you down—or turn into a bottleneck, a burden, or just another annoying layer of admin. With RISE SMS, your team gets the tools to assess and communicate risks in real time—without getting buried in paperwork. From QR code hazard reporting to streamlined corrective actions, we help you keep operations moving while keeping safety front and center.


Build Passenger and Regulator Confidence
