Baldwin Aviation Offers SMSace Program For Fixed And Rotor Wing
Aircraft
A new safety management program designed to support the
Owner/Operator of light fixed and rotor wing aircraft has been
launched by Baldwin Aviation Safety & Compliance.
"SMSace has been developed specifically for owners and operators
of Light Business Aircraft to provide them with a unique set of
tools for a structured safety program," explained Don Baldwin,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Baldwin. "We were
approached by numerous owners and operators who fly their own
aircraft requesting an affordable, easy-to-use safety program. We
created a standardized business operations manual that is the
foundation for a typical one aircraft/one pilot operation safety
management system. By developing a network among similar aircraft
type owners, analyzing their data and combining them with resources
from the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), the
Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and standardized
Baldwin risk assessments and safety reports, SMSace offers the
Owner/Operator an appropriate level program at a reasonable
cost."
Baldwin Aviation will conduct an initial assessment and enroll
the operator in SMSace for a fee of $500. Operators will continue
to receive SMS services and support for a flat monthly fee of
$125.
"The Baldwin SMSace program is an outstanding way for individual
owner/pilots to access the tools and information needed to maintain
currency in a rapidly changing, high-technology air traffic
system," noted Richard Keltner, Director of Safety for Global
Aerospace Insurance Underwriters. "It is definitely a
safety-enhancing tool. As a subscriber to one of the existing
Baldwin programs, we have learned first-hand the value of a quality
safety management system. The Baldwin Aviation Risk Analysis and
hazard tracking tools helped us take our safety program to the next
level.”
