The FAA Safety Management System Voluntary Program (SMSVP) is designed for non-Part 121 Air Operators, which includes non-scheduled service carriers and air agencies. This program outlines the procedures and requirements for those who wish to adopt a Safety Management System (SMS) voluntarily. By participating in this program, certificate holders can achieve a state-accepted SMS that aligns with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) SMS requirements. This initiative helps enhance safety practices across the aviation industry.
