United States Implementation of SMS FAA.

United States Implementation of SMS

The United States has introduced SMS for airports through an advisory circular[11] and other guidance.[12]

The United States announced at the 2008 EASA/FAA/TC International Safety Conference that they would be developing regulations to implement SMS for repair stations, air carriers, and manufacturers. The FAA has formed a rulemaking committee to address the implementation. Currently, the FAA is supporting voluntary pilot projects for SMS.[13
