Re-energize your safety culture!   Training and promotion is essential for SMS. Employees, as well as company management, must buy into the program which means understanding concepts, the benefits, and implementation. ATC Vantage offers training in SMS principals, hazard identification, risk analysis and the development of a Safety Management Manual.

ATC Vantage has been trained and audited by  MITRE CAASD (Center for Advanced Aviation Systems Development to teach the MITRE SMS Courseware. Our comprehensive SMS training program was developed by the MITRE CAASD (Center for  Advanced Aviation Systems Development) in conjunction with the FAA.  MITRE was founded as a non-profit corporation to provide engineering and technical services to the federal government.   ATC Vantage is one of only a couple of companies who are licensed to teach the MITRE/FAA SMS Overview course.   Click here to for more information about MITRE CAASD (MITRE Aviation Institute) and MITRE's roll in aviation leadership.

 

This course was developed in accordance with ICAO standards, ICAO SMS Document 9859, FAA Advisory Circular 120-92 and AC 129-A and is continually revised to ensure the most current information is presented.  MITRE SMS courseware has been taught in 50 countries making it internationally accepted and desired. This class will be beneficial to all aviation organizational employees including those company experts who will be performing Hazard Analysis and Risk Mitigation Strategies.

About MITRE (SMS courseware developer)
FAA names MITRE as a resource in the SMS "Read-Me-First" Document" Reference Link - #9) MITRE Center for the Advanced Aviation System Development is a non-profit research organization used by the USA Government (IRS, Dept. of Defense, FAA, etc...)  for a variety of projects.

MITRE CAASD has a longstanding relationship (since 1958) with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Since 1958, the year MITRE first opened its doors, MITRE has helped the FAA address the nation’s most critical aviation issues. MITRE's role was enhanced in 1990 when the FAA created a Federally Funded Research and Development Center and selected MITRE to operate it. The new entity is the Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD). MITRE has years of experience in researching, teaching and implementing SMS at airlines, airports, ATC providers, maintenance shops and Civial Aviation Authorities worldwide.

In addition to supporting the FAA, MITRE CAASD collaborates with civil aviation authorities around the world, all of which face similar challenges in the areas of safety, security, and efficiency. These relationships enable MITRE to increase their knowledge of best practices in aviation and share these with their customers.

As the federally-funded research and development center for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), CAASD is dedicated to improving aviation system safety, security, and performance. In addition to the FAA, customers include the Transportation Security Administration, NASA, the Federal Communications Commission, and other government organizations. CAASD also performs work for international clients and conducts collaborative research with industry. Ultimately, MITRE serves the aviation community around the world.

CAASD is a world-class research, engineering, and development center. Their laboratories combine the newest information technology with systems engineering, modeling, and simulation to produce results that are both operationally viable and award winning. The work of the technical staff can be seen in a variety of settings -- at conferences, in journals and books, and on numerous patents. MITRE CAASD most significant achievements are the systems operating in the field that have resulted from their collaboration and technology transfer to private industry and air traffic management organizations around the world.
