FAA Approaches ICAO SMS Compliance with SASO

System Approach for Safety Oversight (SASO) on the Web and in the News
Notice Number: NOTC1280

Over the next four years, the SASO program is leading preparations to implement a Safety Assusrance System (SAS) that will constitute one step in our process toward meeting ICAO's SMS mandates. To share current, comprehensive information about the status of the SASO program, the FAA's SASO Program Office has launched a new, enhanced Web site. The Web site will be updated quarterly and can be accessed here.

Additionally, the SASO Program Office has just released the June edition of its quarterly newsletter. Located on the SASO Web site (under SASO News), the newsletter provides timely updates on important issues related to system safety. We encourage you to visit the site and review the newsletter regularly for the most up-to-date program news and information.

For more information, please review the website above or contact the FAA.
