Safety Education and Training during the 2022 AACA Annual convention and other documents
AACA Joint Safety supports the development of safety management system programs (SMS) through training, mentoring and technological support from the association membership and other aviation safety leaders. Below are training programs designed for the membership on specific topics that will guide operators continued development of sms programs.
In addition, AACA has published documents that may be useful to smaller operators and include:
Safety Hazard Assessment Outline
Aviation Disaster Family Assessments Summary
OSHA Requirements Safety Checklists
Risk Analysis template
These documents are available in the Members Only link Section under – Safety Documents

Omni SMS / QMS TRAINING
OFFERED MARCH 6TH, 2020 - FOLLOWING AACA ANNUAL AVIATION CONVENTION
SMS / QMS Insights and Solutions for 121 / 135 Operators
This 4-hour presentation is packed with insights you can take to the bank. It provides certificated operators with a clear understanding of why barrier-based safety management is essential to the success of your SMS; why your SMS and QMS should be combined efforts sharing the same platform; and why your SMS/QMS needs to align with your organization’s FAA-defined Peer Group processes under FAA’s Safety Assurance System (SAS).
Using the OmniSMS Aviation Management System, managers and safety staff will learn how to not only keep their Medallion safety programs alive, but to substantially improve their ASAP, operational control, CFIT avoidance and internal audit programs. Special emphasis is placed on scaling the SMS for smaller operators, and in identifying precursor factors which drive key performance indicators for virtually any safety or quality issue, for any operator.
This presentation is for owner / operators, directors of safety, department managers, and anyone who wants to understand how the many pieces of SMS fit together; and given the right tools, how easy it is to assemble the puzzle.
Your speaker is Paul Salerno, an ATP with 5,581 hrs flight time, 1,618 hrs Alaska time and over 1,200 hrs. as flight instructor and check airman in large and transport category aircraft. Paul holds a BS degree in Aerospace Science and is a graduate of FAA’s System Safety and ATOS training courses. He served as D.O. / Chief Pilot and Chief Inspector for 18 years under FAR Parts 135 and 121 as owner / operator of Salair Air Cargo and Classic Airlines. Paul is also an A&P mechanic and has developed several STCs. He has authored numerous technical publications, including FAA-approved airplane flight manuals, maintenance manuals, inspection programs, and pilot training programs. Paul is President of Omni Air Group and developer of the OmniSMS® Aviation Management System.
All the points below will be covered.

All the points below will be covered.
- Scalability for small operators - Simplifying the SMS / Allocation of resources / Mentoring / Facilitation
- Creating a harmonized SMS / QMS
- Improved FRAT methodology for better operational control
- Better risk assessments using Event Risk Classification
- Application of Flight Safety Foundation's BAR standard
- Developing a Maintenance Error Management System (MEMS) using Boeing's MEDA / REDA tools
- Creating SKPIs to monitor and measure safety performance for significant safety issues (CFIT / Loss of Separation / Landing accidents, etc.)
- Why FAA's Part 5 / SMS VP standard is the right choice for certificated operators
- Understanding FAA's Safety Assurance System (SAS) and Functional Areas, elements and sub-elements (processes)
- FAA's Data Collection Tools (DCTs) and how they examine each operator's processes using performance-based audits
- Associating causal factors and barriers / controls with the operator's FAA-defined processes
- FAA's seven Safety Attributes and why they need to be incorporated into your manual system and your SMS - as controls to assure the quality of process outputs, and to successfully pass FAA audits!
- ASAP – Creating an independent MOU is easy! / Advantages of single-point reporting into your SMS interface / ASAP facilitation for smaller operators
- Operational Control - Use of the ORA tool (FRAT) more for operational control, and less for less for hazard identification
- CFIT Avoidance – Use of existing guidance / training, supplemented with monitoring / measuring using precursor factors, precursor event trending and Safety Key Performance Indicators (SKPIs)
- Internal Audits - Why you should be using FAA's Data Collection Tools (DCTs)
- Safety Star – Becoming an active participant in FAA’s SMS VP (step-by-step "how to" guide)
