Is your organization ready for the new final rule on safety management systems (SMSs)? We’re here to help. There are currently over 200 operators using Fuzion Safety’s SMS platform for their SMS needs—join them in taking advantage of our scalable SMS, which offers a comprehensive abundance of capabilities.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials have passed a new final rule on SMSs, requiring all Part 135 certificate holders and Part 91.147 air tour operators as well as certain Part 21 type certificate (TC) and production certificate (PC) holders to have an SMS in place within three years (with final dates/deadlines still to be determined).

The rule, which expands on the 14 CFR Part 5 SMS mandate that has been in effect since 2018, also recommends scalability to the size and complexity of different organizations.

Fuzion Safety consists of team members who have been in the aviation safety industry for decades, working to ensure our SMS modules are compliant with updated rulings. Fuzion Safety offers SMS subscription packages that can give organizations affected by the new rule access to top-level systems, support, training, and customizations, along with the four pillars of SMS: safety policy, safety risk management, safety assurance, and safety promotion.

“The new final rule will have a far-reaching impact in the aviation industry, and Fuzion Safety is fully prepared to help any affected operator achieve success with our safety management system,” said Kamron Githens, Fuzion Safety’s Program Manager. “Our team is committed to doing what we can to assist with improving aviation safety across the board as a result of this new rule.”

Additionally, as FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker said: “Requiring more aviation organizations to implement a proactive approach to managing safety will prevent accidents and save lives.”

Piper M-Class Owners and Pilots Association (PMOPA) and Fuzion Safety are proud to announce that Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) is now available for all Piper PA-46 variants through their partnership to enhance aviation safety initiatives.

Members of the PA-46 community who participate in this robust FDM program can assist with identifying potential safety matters before they become a problem, which, in turn, helps to reduce the likelihood of future accidents and incidents.

Fuzion Safety is capable of processing flight data for the FDM program on the following fleet variants of the PA-46:

• PA-46-310
• PA-46-350
• PA-46-500
• PA-46-600
• PA-46-JPG500

PMOPA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the interests and safety of owners and pilots of Piper PA-46 aircraft worldwide. With more than 1,200 current members, PMOPA membership is available to any registered or prospective owner and/or operator of qualified aircraft or any qualifying individual or organization involved with or providing a service for the PA-46 family of aircraft.

Fuzion Safety’s role in the data sharing process is to aggregate all flight data submitted by participants and to assist PMOPA with safety analysis. With two decades of experience in data analysis and advancing aviation safety, Fuzion Safety is the ideal partner for PMOPA to derive meaningful value from PA-46 aircraft data.

“FDM is one of the most powerful safety tools available to aviation. It’s been around for decades, with proven results. Its power lies in being able to identify problems flying our airplanes before they become accidents. Threats and errors identified can be threats and errors mitigated. Even seemingly insignificant deviations can, when examined in aggregate, be used to identify those threats that are all around us and errors commonly committed. FDM isn’t about you, it’s about us. PMOPA’s Safety Committee is eager to get started on our collective safety journey. We want to fully leverage the insights gained from FDM to tailor PA-46 training, education, and communications—using facts, not speculation,” said Kimberly Coryat, PMOPA Safety Committee Chair and PMOPA Board Member.

“We hope everyone participates,” she added. “By employing FDM with Fuzion Safety, we will become leaders in the world of general aviation safety, bringing our fleet to a higher level of safety. Even those with minimal data can participate—’donating’ the five or ten basic parameters you have available through your older digital avionics can help our effort. For those of you with newer airplanes that are ‘data rich,’ we absolutely need you! Working together, we can collectively improve the safety record of our fleet.”

The more data collected and analyzed, the higher quality the insights will be. PMOPA’s Safety Committee will share identified trends, risks, and opportunities with the PA-46 community via the PMOPA Magazine and PMOPA events. Analyses will also be posted on the website.

Additionally, participants gain access to Flight Dynamics, Fuzion Safety’s subscription-based system that processes recorded flight data to allow analysts to support Flight Operational Quality Assurance (FOQA) or flight data analysis programs. Flight Dynamics includes the groundbreaking Post-Flight Report (PFR), a debrief that can be directly sent to a pilot’s mobile device within minutes of uploading their flight data after every flight. PMOPA will use the de-identified aggregate data from the PFR in their studies.

Participating pilots can use AirSync, the lowest-cost, turn-key solution for FDM and FOQA available on the market today to automate the process of seamlessly uploading data to Fuzion Safety.

“As a leading provider of aviation data solutions, AirSync is excited to team up with PMOPA and Fuzion Safety to further enhance safety measures in the aviation industry. PMOPA joins AirSync’s growing list of operators using our technology to improve fleet safety and fleet management, and Fuzion Safety’s integration with our platform adds to AirSync’s over 40 third-party service integrations. AirSync’s reliable delivery of flight data continues to set industry standards, providing operators with essential tools to enhance safety and operational efficiency,” said Jason Harris, AirSync Director.

Fuzion Safety is proud to announce a partnership with IMPaCT to integrate IMPaCT’s game-changing web-based incident-reporting and AI-powered collaboration tools with Fuzion Safety’s safety management system (SMS) to support and enhance safety in healthcare.

Hospitals and clinics are among the most dangerous workplaces in America. About 3 in 4 of all workplace violence injuries, fatal and nonfatal, involve workers in healthcare. Healthcare workers are 5 times more likely to be involved in a workplace violence incident than other industries. Fuzion Safety has been developing the tools needed to build a strong safety system for the aviation industry for over 20 years and sees healthcare as an important vertical to advance its proven solutions. IMPaCT has developed QR-code web-based incident reporting tools along with a highly secure AI-powered collaboration and chat platform to manage safety issues in real time. Fuzion Safety saw the value to partner with IMPaCT not only due to our software synergies, but also because of IMPaCT’s additional offerings of helping hospitals bring in a new way of reporting that seamlessly fits into the workflows and lives of healthcare staff. This partnership brings a holistic solution to the marketplace to make safety reporting and management more accessible and robust.

James Corbett, CEO of IMPaCT, said, “This partnership takes our vision to another level. The healthcare industry has talked about mimicking what the airline industry did with safety reporting but didn’t know how to make that happen. With this partnership, we can help tremendously. We want to make reporting easier, and building out this relationship provides an end-to-end solution for healthcare to increase reporting of incidents and manage those safety reports. Fuzion helps us on the back end while we build out the front-end data points and sharing capabilities for a safer healthcare future.”

“Fuzion Safety is thrilled to partner with IMPaCT and bring our best-in-class SMS platform to the healthcare industry,” said Kamron Githens, Fuzion Safety’s Program Manager. “Safety is our utmost priority, and this collaboration allows us to provide the healthcare industry with an innovative solution that enhances safety initiatives and minimizes risk.”
