Who has to do this?+
Part 135 operators authorized before May 28, 2024 must have a working SMS and submit a declaration of compliance by May 28, 2027 (14 CFR 5.9(a)). New applicants must have one as part of getting authorized (5.9(b)).
Is this approved by the FAA?+
No. Part 5 Ready is software and is not affiliated with or approved by the FAA. You, the certificate holder, remain responsible for your SMS and your declaration.
Do you file the declaration for me?+
No. You submit it to the FAA. We show you what FAA guidance says it should contain and where it goes, and you record the date you filed.
I fly single pilot. Does this fit?+
Yes. If you are the sole individual performing all functions, 5.9(e) removes some requirements. Turn on single pilot in setup and those items are marked not applicable.
Is buying software enough?+
No. The rule asks you to implement and maintain the SMS. This gives you the documents, tools and records. You still have to use them.
What if it is not for me?+
