SMS for biz aircraft owners

By Janice Wood · September 12, 2011 ·

Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance, which assists flight organizations in implementing and maintaining safety management systems, has launched its latest program to support owners of fixed and rotor wing aircraft.

“SMSace has been developed specifically for owners and operators of Light Business Aircraft to provide them with a unique set of tools for a structured safety program,” explained Don Baldwin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Baldwin. “We were approached by numerous owners and operators who fly their own aircraft requesting an affordable, easy-to-use safety program. We created a standardized business operations manual that is the foundation for a typical one aircraft/one pilot operation safety management system. By developing a network among similar aircraft type owners, analyzing their data and combining them with resources from the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and standardized Baldwin risk assessments and safety reports, SMSace offers the owner/operator an appropriate level program at a reasonable cost.”

Baldwin Aviation will conduct an initial assessment and enroll the operator in SMSace for a fee of $500. Operators will continue to receive SMS services and support for a flat monthly fee of $125.
