Approximately 1997 an introduction of the international National Aviation Authority’s – NAA’s -System Based Audit Program
CASA adopted this methodology in 1999.
It has matured and been documented in a contemporary format –• a further re-write is currently occurring

Safety Management Systems – SMS
The notion is not new – in North America the USC have been conducting courses since early 1990’s
Disciplines within the aviation sector have long recognised the benefits of a systemic approach to operations
