Your accountable executive signed off on the risk controls. File closed, right?

Is your Accountable Executive doing more than signing the safety policy?

Under 14 CFR § 5.25, the AE role comes with five ongoing responsibilities, and the right person for the job isn't always the one at the top of the org chart.

In the latest SMS Quick Takes, we break down how small Part 135 operators can identify the right AE, what "regularly" really means for safety reviews, and why an undocumented review is an undone review.

14 CFR § 5.25 is more than signing a safety policy. Here’s how choosing the right Accountable Executive and fulfilling the role looks for a small part 135 operator.

Safety Management Systems (SMS) are more than regulatory checkboxes. They are a continuous, proactive cycle that drives safer and more resilient operations.

At PAI Consulting, our SMS Quick Takes series breaks down what SMS really means in practice. From understanding the FAA’s expanded rule one year later to practical strategies for small operators and measuring real-world effectiveness, we focus on helping organizations turn compliance into performance.

Whether you are refining your Safety Policy, strengthening Risk Management, enhancing Assurance, or promoting Safety culture, our latest recap brings the key insights together in one place.

Explore the full SMS Quick Takes collection and see how a well-built SMS delivers measurable results.

This post is a graphic that illustrates the four core components of an effective SMS — Safety Policy , Safety Risk Management , Safety Assurance , and Safety Promotion — and ties each to a relevant post in our series. Use this visual to explore how SMS creates feedback loops that help your team
