Anonymous survey: Are you ready for SMS? Take this anonymous, one-question survey to help VAI understand where our members and other operators stand in their safety management system journey. For many US helicopter operators, the clock is ticking toward the May 2027 safety management system (SMS) mandate. But the real question isn’t if you’ll get there, it’s how prepared you are right now. We’re taking a quick pulse check across the industry to better understand where operators stand in their SMS journey, including areas where progress may be meeting resistance. This brief, one-question survey is completely anonymous. No report cards, no second-guessing, just an honest snapshot to help us focus our efforts where they matter most and ensure that the right support is in place for everyone moving forward. So if you can take just a few moments to take the survey, we’d be most grateful. Take the survey here.
