FAA Part 5 SMS Deadline: 5 Things Every US Operator Must Know

The clock is ticking — the FAA has mandated that all covered US operators implement a compliant Safety Management System by May 28, 2027. For operators still wondering what this means for them, true compliance goes beyond a manual or an out-of-the-box solution. The FAA expects demonstrated competence, active leadership engagement, and a living safety culture.

In this webinar, join Steve Hough and Thomas Lemaire as we walk through what the regulation requires, where most operators stand today, and how to build an SMS that meets Part 5 and actually works in practice.

You'll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of what Part 5 mandates for operators

• A framework for building and documenting a compliant SMS program

• The most common gaps operators miss, and how to close them before the deadline

Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to close gaps in an existing framework, this session will give you a clear, practical path to compliance with 12 months still on the clock.
