The FAA requires all Part 135 operators to implement a Part 5-compliant Safety Management System by May 28, 2027. For operators with multi-base operations, this is not a box-ticking exercise. The FAA expects demonstrated competence, active leadership engagement, and a living safety culture, not a generic manual or an off-the-shelf software package.
In this webinar, 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 will learn how TrustFlight combines its Centrik 5 safety and risk management platform with specialist aviation safety training and consultancy from Baines Simmons to deliver a complete, integrated SMS programme built for Part 135 operators at scale.
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 before the deadline.
