  Join the AACA the week of our annual convention for a two-day Safety Management Systems (SMS) course with Chris Young.

  Course description:

  Effective risk management compels organizations to genuinely examine how they conduct their operations, and the safety decisions made involving those activities.  A Safety Management System (SMS) is an organization-wide, comprehensive and proactive approach to controlling negative outcomes as the result of hazard exposure.  With this training participants can have a positive impact on their organization’s safety and quality outcomes as well as its business performance.  We will examine the new FAA rulemaking for SMS and how it will affect your Part 135 or Part 91 operation.
