Baldwin Safety and Compliance has launched its new Alaska\nAviation Safety Exchange SMS\/QMS program customized for the Alaska aviation\ncommunity. Alaska Seaplanes, an FAA part 135 commuter airline based in Juneau,\nAlaska, has rolled out their new SMS program using this scalable Baldwin\nprogram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Alaska Aviation Safety Exchange features easy-to-use\nsoftware that enables customization to forms, reports, and manuals to meet the\nneeds of the Alaskan operator. It is\nmission adaptable and scalable to a single fixed wing or helicopter operator,\nor to an operation with hundreds of aircraft. \nAlaskan operators subscribing to Baldwin will also have the option of\nsharing de-identified safety data to learn from their peers via data sharing\nwithin the Baldwin program and\/or the FAA Aviation Safety Information Analysis\nand Sharing (ASIAS). Another key benefit Baldwin offers the small operator is\n24\/7 support from Safety Matter Experts, acting as an on-demand safety team\nresource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ken McLure, Alaska Seaplanes Director of Safety and\nCompliance explains, \u201cAlaska is a unique place to fly and operations here have\nmany challenges that operators in the lower 48 will never experience. From\nseasonal staffing swings to water landings and limited controlled airspace, we\nhave distinctive risks to consider. The big difference for Alaska Seaplanes was\nthat the Baldwin system was customizable and flexible enough to adapt to our\noperation, and it did not require reworking our processes to integrate with the\nsoftware. The assistance we received with our Flight Risk assessment tool was\nalso a game changer. We rolled the program out in a phased approach to all the\nstakeholders in November and went live in December. The most impressive result\nis that I am already receiving great feedback on the data we are collecting,\nand many members of the team are providing input and suggestions for small changes\nthat have been very simple to make.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe SMS program mandate is coming in 2022 and I anticipate\nother operations (big and small) developing their SMS with Baldwin. I look\nforward to more Alaska operators joining us in this journey to improve safety and\nparticipate in the new safety database, made for Alaska,\u201d McLure added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donald Baldwin, President and founder of Baldwin Safety and\nCompliance said, \u201cAs leaders in Safety & Quality Management, we wanted to\nprovide a customized SMS\/QMS solution that would support the specific Alaskan\noperational, regulatory, standards, and emergency response environment. When we\nmet with Ken McLure at Alaska Seaplanes, he shed light on the challenges he was\nfacing trying to develop an SMS system to work with their current operation\nwithout making major changes to adapt to a pre-fab program. They face\nextraordinary conditions on a regular basis, and we are proud to be working\nwith the aviation community in Alaska to provide a simplified but customized\nsolution to their SMS program needs. We will soon be introducing similar\nprograms to the Hawaiian aviation industry.\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
