Safety Risk Management Study Based On SMS For Airlines Flight Operations Department

In recent years, civil aviation industry in China has a rapid development, but safety problem has always been the focus. From the statistics, although the accident rate has reduced a lot compared with the statistics in previous years, but as the aircraft quantity has been increasing rapidly, the total number of the flight accidents is still increasing with the increasing flight operation hours; it is still the major civil aviation conflict in current stage. Airlines need more systematic and advanced safety management method to further reduce the accident rate. The essay is based on SMS, which is necessary to the safety management of the flight operations department.The author is a civil aviation captain with many years related work experiences. First, he has stated an overall development of SMS, its main framework and t safety risk management. Second, introduces the model of the SHELL and QAR. Third, use QAR to identify the flights risks in exceeding events; use SMS matrix to identify and assess the risk level, and then screening high-risk events that needed. Fourth, analyses high risky events, find hazards. Fifth, formulate risk control measures to control risk.The above research gives flight operations department direct guidance and advices about risk management, and components a set of scientific system of management. By using SMS risk management, flight operations department can identify all kinds of hazards targeted and effectively, and take corresponding control measures to reduce management costs to eventually eliminate or ease risks, which consequently prevent the accident, improve the safety management level of the flight operations department and achieve safety production goal.
