Why Now?

SMS pays immediate dividends. Waiting for the FAA Final Rule (FR) will only increase the pressure to implement SMS within the compliance timeframes. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and SMS guidance reference the international SMS standards that will not be changed by the FR. This course will provide the roadmap and best practices to enable your airport to implement SMS the right way the first time. Prepare now to hit the ground running.
