Abstract: The new 14 CFR part 5 would require certificate holders authorized to conduct operations under part 121 to develop and implement a Safety Management System (SMS) for all of their aviation safety-related activities. The certificate holder will use the data it collects to identify hazards and instances of non-compliances with requirements and standards. With the exception of a one-time submission of an implementation plan, the data will not be submitted to the FAA. The safety policy, outputs of safety risk management and safety assurance processes, and training and communication records will be kept by the certificate holder and used in its SMS.
