Safety management for aviation operators
Aviation SMS that your whole company can actually run.
StratoSMS takes your company from understanding what a Safety Management System is, to building one, to operating with it every day — with the flight risk assessments, passenger manifests, records and pilot experience totals that go with it.
Built for Part 135 operators and applicants, helicopter operators, air tour and charter companies, and owner/operators.

What is a Safety Management System?
In plain English: it is the process your company uses to stay ahead of safety problems.
- 01
Identify things that could cause a safety problem
- 02
Determine how serious the risk is
- 03
Reduce or eliminate that risk
- 04
Verify that the solution worked
- 05
Maintain records showing what was done

What you get
Report a concern in under a minute
Anyone on the team can report something that happened, almost happened, or looks like a problem. No safety jargon required.
A closed loop, not a form
Every report becomes a case that moves through review, investigation, risk assessment, root cause, corrective action and verification before it can close.
Flight risk assessments that read clearly
The pilot answers the questions once. You see the score, the risk level, and only the factors that were actually triggered.
Manifests built by the people on the ground
Ground staff load passengers, weights, waivers and seats on a phone. The pilot reviews and closes out. Then the record locks.
A manual that matches the software
Answer guided questions and your SMS manual is generated from them — with versions, effective dates, approvals and a Part 5 cross-reference.
Pilot experience with dated history
Pilots declare their experience totals when joining a company and update them over time, with prior records preserved and decreasing totals flagged for review.
One platform, every company you fly for.
Each company is kept completely separate. A person can belong to more than one, and hold more than one role in each. Each company retains its own dated pilot experience records.
