Recently, Debi Carpenter, Executive Director of the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF), was featured in an exclusive Aviation Maintenance virtual roundtable to discuss how MRO IT systems ensure compliance with Safety Management Systems (SMS) and other regulatory programs. Alongside Jason R. Starke, VP of Safety and Standards at Baldwin Safety and Compliance, Carpenter shared insights on the crucial role IT platforms play in managing safety and compliance within the aviation industry.
During the discussion, Carpenter emphasized the importance of technology in handling safety risks and regulatory requirements, highlighting ACSF’s suite of tools such as SMS, ASAP, and IAS Lite. These platforms provide operators with essential resources for managing safety risks, ensuring regulatory compliance, and improving overall operational efficiency. Carpenter also stressed the significance of ACSF’s Member Assistance Program (MAP), which offers expert guidance to help organizations meet FAA and ICAO regulations.
The roundtable explored how SMS systems like those provided by ACSF support automation, risk management, and incident reporting, while also adapting to evolving regulations and security concerns. The integration of advanced analytics, mobile accessibility, and AI/ML capabilities were discussed as future trends, which will continue to shape the industry’s approach to safety and compliance.
