However, when a certificate holder requests FAA recognition of its SMS, an Implementation Plan must be submitted to its CMT for validation against the SMSVP Standard (see Volume 17, Chapter 4, Section 3, Figure 17-4-3A, Safety Management System Voluntary Program Standard).

It is also available for use by all other DOT agencies and their personnel. 2.

The Safety Assurance System (SAS) consists of seven Safety Attributes: Responsibility, Authority, Procedures, Controls, Process Measurement, Interfaces, and Safety Ownership. These attributes apply to all certificate holders and applicants regardless of size and scope, and should be present in well-designed systems and processes. FAA System Safety Handbook, Chapter 12: Facilities Safety December 30, 2000 12 - 2 12.0 Facilities System Safety 12.1 Introduction The purpose of facility system safety is to apply system safety technique s to a facility from its initial design through its demolition. This perspective is often referred to as the Facility Acquisition Life Cycle. Title 49 U.S. Code, Subpart III, Chapter 447 is the foundation for the FAA's safety regulations, and provides flexibility through FAA Order 8900.2, General Aviation Airman Designee Handbook, to examine and issue an airman certificate. This order is policy and mandatory standardized procedures for those who administer all aviation Figure 17-4-3A. Safety Management System Voluntary Program Standard . 1. Purpose of This Attachment. The Safety Management System Voluntary Program (SMSVP) Standard, when properly applied, is the basis for formal State recognition of a certificate holder's Safety Management System (SMS). The SMSVP Standard, while resembling Title 14 of the 4. Operational and environmental stresses affecting the system are reviewed for adverse effects on the system or its components. 5. Significant failure mechanisms that could occur and affect components are determined from analysis of the engineering drawings and functional diagrams. Effects of subsystem failures are then considered. 6. Section 4 Safety Assurance System: Night Vision Imaging Systems In 1990, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) determined that NVEDs, including NVGs, which are used or intended to be used in the navigation, operation, or control of an aircraft in flight, are appliances. Chapter 32. Additional manual guidance is contained in Volume 4 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will also ensure the operator has the aircraft in its tracking system (forecast, next check due, etc.). Flight deck checklists. Flammability test certifications for aircraft interior materials (14 CFR part 23 , § 23.2325 and part 25 , § 25.853 ), as appropriate. 4.
