For Part 135
For operators holding a certificate — and those working toward one.
If you are an applicant, the hardest part is not the writing. It is showing that what you wrote is what you actually do.
Where applicants get stuck
A manual nobody can live up to
It is easy to write a procedure that the company has no way of performing. StratoSMS only writes procedures the software supports.
No evidence behind the words
A manual describes intent. Reviewers want records: reports, assessments, actions, verifications, reviews.
A one-person safety department
Small operators do not have a safety office. The system has to carry the structure so the people can carry the flying.
What you end up with
- A controlled SMS manual with version, revision date, effective date and approval pages
- A table of contents, revision history and a Part 5 topic cross-reference
- Named roles and responsibilities that match the people actually in your company
- A hazard reporting process every employee can use from a phone
- Documented risk assessments with a defined risk acceptance authority
- Corrective actions with owners, due dates, evidence and independent verification
- A living risk register generated from your own cases
- Scheduled management reviews with recorded decisions and approvals
- Training requirements, assignments and completion records
- An audit trail on every safety-significant record
An honest note
StratoSMS is not FAA approved or certified software, and using it does not guarantee any certification outcome. It is designed to help aviation operators build, operate and document their Safety Management System. The content of your manual, the accuracy of your records and your regulatory compliance remain your company's responsibility.
