We’re excited to offer an affordable SMS program that fits your needs.
VAI has partnered with a number of SMS industry leaders to provide big savings to vertical aircraft operator members who don’t already have an SMS in place. With options from simple to in-depth, you choose the SMS that best fits your organization.
Why an SMS program?
An SMS helps you identify hazards—from a broken hangar door and chemicals in the workplace to regulatory noncompliance, improperly trained personnel, and more—and develop the culture it takes to plan for, see, track, and resolve the potentially dangerous and costly safety risks that come with them.
On April 26, 2024, the FAA issued a final rule mandating SMS for Part 135 charter operators and certain Part 91 air tour operators. Ease the process and obtain compliance. SMS Final Rule.
How much does an SMS cost?
Each provider’s pricing is different. However, VAI members who haven’t yet subscribed receive substantial savings, which can offset the cost of a VAI membership.
With or without the discount, when you add up the costs of safety mishaps in fines, damages, legal fees, insurance premium increases, and loss of employee productivity, an SMS program offers a smart return on your investment.
