We build all four required parts of your safety management system around how your operation actually runs, then stay with you well past approval with weekly tracking and hands-on support.
Every deliverable maps to a specific requirement in Part 5 — nothing generic, nothing you can't explain to an inspector.
A signed policy, org chart and safety duties, and an emergency response plan — so everyone knows who's accountable and what happens after an incident.
Hazard identification, a risk matrix your team actually uses, a living risk register, and a change procedure for new routes, aircraft, or bases.
A pilot reporting system built on just culture, safety indicators tied to your real operation, and an internal audit cycle with follow-through.
Initial and recurrent training, a monthly safety meeting on the calendar, and communication that keeps the whole crew engaged, not just management.
One site visit, scored against every Part 5 requirement.
Policy, risk register, reporting system, and training — built and installed.
A working session with your pilots, not a slide deck they skim.
Implementation plan to your assigned aviation safety inspector, then the Declaration of Compliance.
Every week, your safety system is reviewed and every required part of it is checked for continued compliance. We run your internal audits, and we're there in person for every safety management system inspection, representing your company and your operation directly, with records always ready for review.
Ground Effect brings more than ten years of aviation safety and compliance monitoring experience to every client. That experience is the foundation this safety system is built on — not a boilerplate consultant's template, but a system that holds up when your assigned aviation safety inspector asks to see it working.
The focus stays narrow on purpose: single-base, small-fleet Part 135 operators in Texas, so every client gets a real site visit, a dedicated point of contact, and a system built around how your crew actually flies.
That support doesn't stop once your system is approved. It means continuous updates as your operations and procedures change, your internal audits carried out on schedule, and your dedicated point of contact there in person for every safety management system inspection, not just on the day it's signed off.
