Overview
In this unit you will gain an insight into aviation safety management systems. You will learn the skills to establish a safety management system tailored to an individual aviation operation considering organisational structures, accountabilities, policies and procedures. You will also gain knowledge about the International Civil Aviation Organisation's mandate for member states to establish a State Safety Program and how each organisation within a state is required to establish a Safety Management System subject to the rules and regulations of that jurisdiction.
