The Aviation Safety Department administers Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach College of Aviation’s Safety Management System (SMS) across its operational divisions, including the Flight Department, Aviation Maintenance Science and Uncrewed Aircraft Systems.
The department supports a proactive, just-culture approach to safety through hazard identification, safety reporting, safety risk management, safety assurance, emergency preparedness, safety data analysis and safety education.
To maintain independence and accountability, the Aviation Safety Department reports directly to the Dean of the College of Aviation, the SMS accountable executive.
The College of Aviation also participates in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Part 5 SMS Voluntary Program (SMSVP), reinforcing its commitment to a structured, continuously improving approach to safety management.
