WASHINGTON, D.C. — AviationManuals, a provider of aircraft manual development services and flight operations Safety Management System (SMS) software for business aviation, recently exceeded 3,500 clients in 78 countries and territories since its founding in 1996.

AviationManuals has delivered nearly 3,000 RVSM/International Operations Manuals and more than 1,200 custom Flight Operations Manuals for multiple registries.

The company has more than 600 subscribers to its International Operations Update Service and eBulletins, and, in just the past several years, has provided 950 Datalink and ADS-B Letters of Authorization.

In addition, there are more than 1,200 users of AviationManuals SMS software, known as ARC, with that number accelerating over the past two years, according to CEO Mark Baier.

Recently, Universal Weather and Aviation selected AviationManuals as Universal’s preferred Safety Management System (SMS) provider for its clients.
