UAS Safety Management Systems

UAS Safety Management Systems (SMS) are structured approaches that organizations use to identify, assess, and control risks associated with operating unmanned aircraft systems (drones). They involve setting safety goals, establishing procedures, training personnel, and continuously monitoring operations to prevent accidents and ensure safe flights. Think of it as a proactive safety plan that helps drone operators manage potential issues before they happen, maintaining safety for people, property, and the airspace. This system promotes a culture of safety, accountability, and ongoing improvement in drone operations.
