SMS built into the system your operation relies on
ForeFlight SMS gives small and mid-size business aviation operators the tools to implement, manage, and document a Safety Management System inside the ForeFlight ecosystem.
ForeFlight SMS is a digital safety operating system for small and mid-size operators. Pre-built workflows and templates mean you're not starting from a blank page.
And because it's built into ForeFlight, it lives where your team already works.
Capture hazards, incidents, near misses, and accidents through the ForeFlight Web, Mobile, or a printable QR code. Anonymous reporting is supported, so your entire team can submit without hesitation.
Structured risk assessment
Evaluate safety events with an integrated ICAO-based risk matrix. Baseline and residual risk assessments, risk acceptance workflows, and a centralized risk register ensure decisions are documented, defensible, and visible to the right people.
Corrective & preventive actions (CAPA)
Define, assign, and track corrective and preventive actions from identification through verification. Recurring effectiveness checks ensure closed findings actually stay closed.
Internal audits
Build custom audit checklists, schedule and assign audits, and manage the process in one place. Structured workflows make it easier to demonstrate readiness for an FAA Part 5 review.
Safety dashboards
Get a clear view of your operation's safety posture with top hazards, open CAPAs, and overall safety performance, all without digging through spreadsheets or chasing down status updates.
Role-based action control
Reporters, Safety Managers, Department Managers, and Auditors each have purpose-built roles so the right people see the right information, and accountability is built into the system.
The Flight Risk Assessment Tool is one method within a complete SMS framework, and it's included with ForeFlight SMS. If your pilots are already completing risk assessments in ForeFlight Mobile, that data flows directly into your SMS. No duplication, no re-entry, no new habits to build.
See which routes, aircraft, or risk factors keep showing up across FRATs before they become a pattern worth worrying about.
One system of record
Pilot risk data and fleet compliance data live in the same place, so nothing gets reconciled by hand at audit time.
Shared accountability
Pilots see their FRAT score. Safety managers see the fleet. Same platform, same source of truth.
Closed-loop findings
A FRAT-flagged risk doesn't die in a PDF because SMS tracks it until a safety manager closes it out.
