13. Business travel has the best safety records in aviation. Corporate aviation is the safest among business related flight options. Dedicated professional pilots and mechanics, good management, equipment quality, setting and sticking to standards, and departmental culture of conservatism. Safety attitude should be established at the highest level and projected downward through the ranks. A strong and sound safety culture should be the main goal. Background 4

15. Data collection and analysis

16. Risk management

17. Establishing a safe cultureSMS should be treated like any other business matter and managers should balance every element well. There would not be an effective SMS without enough resource to support it. SMS Concept 5

18. International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) Provider of International Standards for Business Aircraft Operators (IS-BAO). “Developed by the business aviation community for the benefit of business aviation community” (Rohr, 2004). Canadian Business Aviation Association (CBAA) Mandates its member companies to develop an SMS in organizational structure. National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Encourages its member companies to develop an SMS by providing IS-BAO. Regulators and Associations 6

30. Organizational Structure

31. ExpensesSMS should mature in the organization to become beneficial. It would take longer time to mature in business operators due to the lower frequency of operations (Esler, 2009). Corporate Aviation versus Airlines 8

Harley Davidson Motor Cycles Company 2 Hawker 800 XP in Milwaukee Mitchell Airport 6 Pilots, 2 Mechanics, and a Corporate Aircraft Travel Coordinator SMS developed in 2004 IS-BAO registered ISO 9001 : 2000 Certificated Change Management Process implemented Monthly Risk Awareness Sessions, Quarterly Management Review Meetings, Periodic Executive Reporting (Monthly and Annually) Requiring Performance Effectiveness Planning reports from every employee annually Monetarily Rewards based on the employee’s participation (Jeanmarie, 2008) Exemplary Corporation 10

40. Frequent changes in fleet size and type would increase the quality and efficiency in equipment (aircraft, avionics, data monitoring systems) and experience. Due to the frequency of operations, data collection would be less than scheduled airlines; therefore, dense communication and data exchange between operators is a must. The advantage of smaller organization should be used to build up a strong safety culture. Frequent changes in business matters lead to frequent updates that would result to newer and more efficient SMS. Recommendations 11

41. A more diverse community is addressed; therefore, measures, assessments, and controls should be diverse as well. Flexibility in destinations might result in difficulties in operations (extreme weather, regulations, costs etc.); therefore, the operator should develop an SMS relevant to the operational strategy. Business operators provide aircrafts in short notice, which might result in pilot fatigue, lack of crew preparedness , flight dispatching, or maintenance. Safety is the main goal but profit and SMS resourcing should be balanced well. SMS would fail without enough resources. Recommendations 12
