The complexity of an SMS does not depend on the size of the organization,

but is rather determined by the level of operational risk of the drone flights.

WHY DO I NEED A

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SMS) FOR DRONES?

Maintaining an SMS, even for drone operations that have no obligation to do so, is a testament to the UAS operator's sense of responsibility and dedication to safety. An SMS is essential to operate for specific industries such as mining and offshore, or for use cases in many government sectors.


It is also a requirement for very complex and high-risk drone operational scenarios (SAIL IV ) and useful when flying in mountainous and populated areas as well as in non-separated and controlled airspaces.


It is a prerequisite for the application for operator certification, such as the LUC ("Light UAS Operator Certificate") in the EASA area. An SMS helps to develop a safe and sustainable drone operation business model and reduces direct costs through damage and penalties and indirect costs such as insurance fees and reputation in the market.

SAFETY

The state in which risks associated with drone activities are reduced to an acceptable level during the preparation or execution of UAS flights.

  • A way to manage safety

    It enables existing dangers and safety-relevant factors to be identified, corrective measures to be developed to reduce the risk, and the processes to be controlled to ensure safe operation over the long term.

  • An approach to identify, evaluate and reduce safety risks

    Safety Management is a holistic and collaborative approach to proactively and proactively identify, evaluate and control risks before they can result in a UAS accident or incident.

  • A decision-making system

    It enables economic and further business development decisions to be made using clear communication channels, processes and procedures. It helps to uncover the dangers and risks of change management.

WHAT ADVANTAGES HAS A

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SMS) FOR DRONES?

The absence of evidence of danger

is not synonymous with the absence of danger.
