In Flight 2005: A Civil Aviation Safety Framework for Canada, Transport Canada committed to
the implementation of safety management systems in aviation organizations. We have come along way from concept
to implementation. At the most fundamental level the aim is to improve safety through pro-active management
rather than reactive compliance with regulatory requirements.
Holders of Transport Canada issued operation certificates will be required to implement a safety management
system. The implementation date for various Parts of the Canadian Aviation Regulations will vary based
on the progress of the Notice of Proposed Amendments (NPA) through the regulatory system. The expected result
of this initiative is the improvement of safety practices fostering stronger safety cultures within the civil
aviation industry.
This website provides Transport Canada’s implementation plan for safety management systems (SMS) for civil
aviation, guidance material, as well as other relevant information.
