Why AerospaceSMS

One Aerospace SMS platform for every report, risk and result

Many organizations still run their Safety Management System on spreadsheets, shared drives and email. Reports get lost, corrective actions stall, and audit preparation turns into a scramble. AerospaceSMS replaces that patchwork with a single, structured system designed by aviation safety professionals, backed by more than 300 years of collective aerospace experience.

Centralized safety reporting from any device, including anonymous and confidential reports
Real-time risk management with standardized severity and likelihood assessment
Closed-loop corrective actions with owners, due dates and effectiveness checks
Audit-ready records with every decision time-stamped and attributed

How it works

A closed-loop process from first report to verified closure

Every hazard follows a structured, accountable path. Each stage is assigned, tracked and locked once complete, so nothing falls through the cracks and every outcome can be proven.

Report

Anyone can report a hazard or event in minutes, by name or anonymously.

Assess

Score severity and likelihood on a consistent risk matrix and contain the risk.

Investigate

Find the root cause with structured, AI-guided analysis.

Correct

Assign corrective and preventive actions with owners and deadlines.

Verify

Reassess residual risk, confirm effectiveness and close with a full record.

Solutions by operation

Aviation SMS software shaped to your certificate

Security and trust

Security and accountability are built in, not bolted on

Safety data is sensitive. Reporters need to trust that their identity is protected, and leaders need records that hold up in front of an auditor. AerospaceSMS was engineered around both.

Multi-factor sign-in, always on

Every user signs in with a one-time verification code sent by email or SMS. Multi-factor authentication is mandatory, not an optional setting.

Strict tenant isolation

Each organization's data is logically separated from every other customer, so your hazards, investigations and findings stay yours.

Role-based permissions

Reporters, investigators, managers and the Accountable Executive each see and do only what their role requires.

Protected anonymous reporting

When an employee reports anonymously, their identity is withheld from everyone in the organization, including administrators.

Locked records and full audit trail

Completed workflow steps become read-only, and every action is time-stamped and attributed.

Independently tested, U.S. hosted

Independent penetration testing, Amazon Web Services infrastructure in the United States, and encrypted HTTPS connections.

Proof, not paperwork

From investigation to evidence in one system

Structured tools guide investigators through root cause analysis and connect findings to proven corrective actions. Images are cropped and de-identified views of the live platform.

Root cause analysis that goes deeper

A fishbone analysis across human factors, procedures, equipment, materials, environment and management keeps investigations thorough and consistent across every investigator.

A CAPA library you can build on

Start from corrective and preventive action templates, tailor them to your finding, and track each one to verified completion.

Introducing our AI safety assistant

AI assistance that keeps people in command

Our custom-developed AI safety assistant is built into AerospaceSMS and available as an option for subscribers. It helps investigators work faster and more consistently while every decision stays with a qualified person.

Guided root cause analysis with structured prompts across six cause categories
Corrective action suggestions from your closed CAPAs and the CAPA Library
Trend and risk intelligence that surfaces repeat hazards earlier
Human approval on every output, recorded in the audit trail

Possible contributing factor: task card step 7 does not state the torque value for the replacement fitting.

Suggested corrective action: revise the task card and add an independent inspection item for torque verification.

Built for the whole aviation industry

Who uses AerospaceSMS

Airlines and charter

Part 121, Part 135 and Part 91 operators that need a practical, scalable SMS.

Repair stations

Part 145 and EASA Part-145 organizations, MROs and component shops.

Manufacturers

Part 21 design and production approval holders and their suppliers.

Airports

Part 139 certificated airports and their tenants.

UAS and AAM

Drone, eVTOL and advanced air mobility operators building safety in from day one.

Defense contractors

Aerospace and defense organizations with demanding safety and quality obligations.

Flight schools

Training organizations that want a strong safety culture from the first lesson.

International operators

Organizations working under ICAO, EASA, UK CAA and other state authorities.

Regulatory readiness

Ready for the expanded FAA Part 5 SMS rule

The FAA’s 2024 final rule extended 14 CFR Part 5 well beyond Part 121 airlines. Part 135 commuter and on-demand operators, certain Part 91 air tour operators, and Part 21 type and production certificate holders are now covered, with Part 135 operators required to declare compliance by May 28, 2027. Part 139 airports face their own SMS requirements, and EASA has required a management system with SMS for Part-145 organizations since December 2022.

AerospaceSMS gives you the structure, records and evidence those rules call for, plus expert help with manuals and training when you need it.

Buying guide

What to look for in aviation SMS software

Spreadsheets and shared folders can hold safety data, but they rarely prove that a hazard was assessed, a corrective action was verified, or a lesson reached the right people. When you compare aviation SMS software, look for confidential and anonymous hazard reporting, a consistent severity and likelihood risk matrix, structured root cause analysis, corrective and preventive action tracking with effectiveness checks, internal audits, Management of Change, training records, and dashboards that show trends over time. Ask how records are locked once complete, how access is controlled by role, and where the data is hosted. AerospaceSMS covers each of these in one system, hosted on AWS in the United States.

Questions

Aviation SMS software FAQ

What is an Aviation Safety Management System (SMS)?

An Aviation Safety Management System is a formal, organization-wide approach to managing safety risk. It is built on four components: Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance and Safety Promotion. Regulators such as the FAA (14 CFR Part 5), ICAO (Annex 19) and EASA require or expect an SMS for many aviation and aerospace organizations.

What does AerospaceSMS software do?

AerospaceSMS is a cloud-based Aviation SMS platform that brings hazard reporting, risk assessment, investigations, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), audits and safety performance analytics into one secure system with a complete audit trail.

Who is AerospaceSMS for?

Part 121 and Part 135 air carriers, Part 145 repair stations and MROs, Part 21 design and production approval holders, Part 139 airports, Part 91 operators, UAS and advanced air mobility operators, and defense contractors. The platform scales from small operators to multi-site organizations.

Does AerospaceSMS help with FAA Part 5 compliance?

Yes. The platform is structured around the four Part 5 components and produces the documentation, risk records and safety assurance evidence that inspectors and auditors look for. Organizations newly covered by the expanded Part 5 rule, including Part 135 operators, must comply by May 28, 2027.

How is safety data protected?

Multi-factor authentication is mandatory for every user, each customer’s data is isolated, access is role-based, anonymous reporters are protected even from administrators, completed records are locked, and the platform is independently penetration tested and hosted on AWS in the United States.

Does AerospaceSMS use AI?

Yes. Our custom-developed AI safety assistant is available to AerospaceSMS subscribers as an option. It supports root cause analysis, corrective action selection and trend analysis. Every AI suggestion is reviewed and approved by a qualified person before it becomes part of the record.

Can we see the platform before we commit?

Yes. Request a live online demo and an aviation safety specialist will walk you through the platform using scenarios that match your operation.

How long must SMS records be kept under FAA Part 5?

Under 14 CFR 5.97, safety risk management outputs are kept as long as the control remains relevant, safety assurance outputs for at least 5 years, training records for as long as the person is employed, and safety communication records for at least 24 consecutive calendar months. 14 CFR 5.97
