The AEA and ARSA have partnered to present a monthly series on the effective integration of a safety management system within the operations of a repair station regulated under 14 CFR Part 145. These hour-long virtual sessions are designed to help U.S.-based repair stations that are implementing an SMS program in compliance with 14 CFR Part 5 as required by the US-EASA special conditions of the Maintenance Annex Guidance with the effective and efficient integrations of SMS into the daily operations of the repair station.
