FltPlan.com: Safety Management System
Business aviation is booming. According to the General Aviation Manufacturing Association, business jet sales are on the rise. Corporate flight departments will continue to grow and the number of flights and flight hours within the business aviation fleet will continue to climb. With these growing figures comes the mounting need for robust systems to help maintain a high level of safety and efficiency. Our FltPlan.com Safety Management System (SMS) services were designed to help flight departments, fleets and aircraft operators promote and maintain a safety-focused culture on multiple levels and to help manage any risks that may arise with flight operations.
Why SMS?
The FAA is emphasizing the importance of safety-focused decision making. A robust SMS establishes processes, methods and decision-making approaches for each individual within a flight department — including aircraft technicians, pilots and management — to not only help foster a safety-focused culture, but also to create procedural efficiencies that result in cost savings.

Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT)
Every flight has a certain degree of risk. Factors such as time of flight, weather conditions and recent crew workload can affect the level of risk on any given flight. Our FRAT is designed to help evaluate the risk level and make an informed decision. The FRAT features include:
- Full integration with FltPlan.com flight plans
- Customizable hazards and hazard values
- Automatic notification of manager and/or chief pilot when a flight exceeds the predetermined risk limit
- Communication to the pilot with approval or recommendations for lowering high FRAT scores
- Option to include notes with FRAT
- Archiving of FRATs for future auditing
When it comes to the decision-making process, information is paramount. FltPlan.com SMS services can help your flight department manage, maintain and evaluate this information in a user-friendly and convenient way. These FltPlan.com services are designed for every member within an organization, not just pilots and management.
