Aviation safety management, done right

An Aviation SMS Program You Can Prove Is Working

Allied SMS gives airlines, charter operators, repair stations, manufacturers, airports and flight departments one connected system for every hazard report, risk decision and corrective action, guided by former FAA inspectors who know what effectiveness looks like.

Built on the AerospaceSMS platform. Hosted in the United States with multi-factor sign-in on every account.

Behind every program

The problem we solve

Most SMS programs exist on paper. Few can show results.

Ask a safety manager whether the organization has an SMS and the answer is almost always yes. Ask them to show how one hazard report moved from the moment it was filed to a verified fix, and the room gets quiet.

The pieces usually live in different places: reports in an inbox, risk scores in a spreadsheet, corrective actions in a binder and training records somewhere else. Every handoff is a place where a hazard can quietly disappear.

Allied SMS closes those gaps. Every report follows the same path, every step has an owner, and every fix is checked before it counts.

Safety Assurance
What you get

Everything an effective SMS needs, connected

Six capabilities that turn safety data into decisions, without exposing your people to more paperwork.

Reporting people actually use

Named, confidential or anonymous reports from any device. Reporters can follow what happened, which keeps them reporting.

Consistent risk decisions

A severity and likelihood matrix configured to your operation, with initial and residual risk recorded for every hazard.

Root cause, not blame

Structured 5 Whys and fishbone analysis that point to procedures, equipment, environment and management, not just the person.

Corrective actions that stick

Owners, due dates and a follow-up check. A fix is counted as effective only after it is verified.

Trends and early warning

Dashboards that connect repeat hazards across shifts, locations and months so you can act before an event.

Audit-ready records

Locked, time-stamped records, internal audits, management of change and training history in one place.

Who we serve

03

Investigate

Find the root cause with 5 Whys or a fishbone and record what really happened.

04

Correct

Assign corrective and preventive actions with owners and due dates.

05

Verify

Confirm the hazard stayed controlled before the record is closed and locked.

Why Allied SMS

Built by people who have been on both sides of the table

Our team is made up of former FAA inspectors who spent decades in safety analysis and safety assurance, and many more years working inside the industry. We know the questions an inspector, auditor or customer will ask, because we have asked them.

That experience shapes everything: the order of the workflow, the records it keeps, and the way it shows effectiveness instead of activity. Beyond the software, we develop SMS manuals, deliver training and support implementation from gap analysis to steady operation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Having an SMS means the policy, processes and forms exist. An effective SMS can show that hazards are found, risks are controlled and fixes are verified, with records that prove it. Allied SMS is designed around the second.

In the United States, 14 CFR Part 5 covers Part 121 air carriers, Part 135 operators, Section 91.147 air tour operators and certain Part 21 manufacturers. Certificated airports that meet the criteria in 14 CFR Part 139 Subpart E also need one. Outside the U.S., ICAO Annex 19 and authorities such as EASA set SMS expectations for many operators and maintenance organizations. See our SMS requirements guide.

Yes. The four components are the same for a two-aircraft charter company and a large carrier. The system scales to the size of the operation, so a small team is not buried in features it does not need.

Yes. Alongside the platform, we write SMS manuals and forms, train your people by role, and stay with you through implementation. Most clients start with a gap analysis so nothing gets written twice.

Data is hosted in the United States, access is controlled by role, and every account uses multi-factor sign-in. Anonymous reporters stay anonymous.
