SMS Scalability
The fundamental practices of hazard

identification, risk management and
continuous improvement apply to Civil
SMS, Military Flight Safety and Quality
Standard

SMS Scalability – Recommendations
Align international standards

• Consistency of approach and terminology
• Supports bilateral recognition - reduces

oversight burden on industry and regulators
• Close relationship between industry and

local regulator
• Ex – EASA vs PVI
Advisory circulars examples are very useful to

industry - scaled examples help
• General regulatory requirements support scalability
• AC recommended solutions for different sizes and

types of operation
• Align the examples with the specific regulations
• Ex – procedure vs process
Align regulatory requirements, advisory

circulars examples and regulatory audit
checklists
• Ensure audit checklists support scalability
• Do not over assess requirements not

mandated by the regulations
• Ex – Hazard Registry
Align regulatory SMS with Quality Standard

requirements
• OEMs / Customers mandating quality standards
• ISO/AS and SMS closely related – proactive

assessment of hazards and risks
• Align terminology and audit expectations
• Ex – Objectives, Safety Policy

Align civil and military approach to SMS

• Industry uses civil practices, even for military
end use projects
• Military have similar, well established

approaches
• Align terminology and audit expectations

benefits both regulators and industry
• Ex – Flight Safety, inflight emergencies

SMS Scalability – Fundamental Message
While it is important SMS be “vertically”

scalable for different sizes and types of
aviation/aerospace operations it is also
important SMS by “horizontally”
aligned amongst regulatory
jurisdictions, civil/military requirements
and quality standards agencies.
