Lessons Learned from Airport Safety Management Systems Pilot Studies

This synthesis study is intended to provide airport operators with data and experience from safety management system (SMS) pilot study airports through survey results, lessons learned, and general findings and trends. The proposed audience is U.S. Part 139 certificated airport operators; however, although intended for Part 139 airports, the results gathered in this synthesis of practice may be helpful to all airports. The study approach focused on completing a literature review of current SMS industry documentation and conducting interviews with SMS pilot study airport representatives and consultants. Of the 31 participating SMS pilot study airports, 26 airport operators provided information through in-person and telephone interviews.
