Nimbl Releases New Part 5 SMS Compliance Guide for Part 135 Operators

While the newly implemented FAA Part 5 Safety Management System (SMS) compliance requirement for Part 135 operators may seem complex, Nimbl is making it easier to navigate with confidence. Nimbl’s free, one-of-a-kind, comprehensive Part 135 SMS guide provides clarity regarding which sections under Part 5 are applicable to operators.

The guide helps operators quickly identify requirements and exemptions so they can better enhance their SMS, showing operators how to build a compliant SMS and demonstrate its use, while providing step-by-step examples for analyzing a new risk and how those steps align with regulations. The publication also includes a compliance roadmap with key questions that operators can answer to help them fulfill the requirements of Part 5.

“At Nimbl, we believe getting started with SMS shouldn't be intimidating," says Mark Baier, Nimbl CEO. "Our goal is to help simplify the process so operators can build a solid foundation, knowing there's always room to scale as their operation evolves. We truly believe in SMS, and we want to help operators implement and use theirs most effectively.”

Ultimately, there are a variety of pathways to Part 5 compliance, but it is important for operators to tailor procedures and SMS solutions in a way that works for them. Nimbl believes its publication will help operators take proactive steps to stay compliant and serve as a practical guide along the way.
