Aviation Safety ManagementSoftware
Run a complete Safety Management System inside Aviatize. ECCAIRS-aligned occurrence reporting, root cause analysis, mitigation tracking, and risk assessment — connected to your scheduling, training, and maintenance data.
In short
What does the Aviatize SMS cover from occurrence report to closure?
Aviatize runs the full safety lifecycle inside one platform: an occurrence is reported with an ECCAIRS-aligned taxonomy, investigated through structured root cause analysis, assessed on a risk matrix, and resolved through a mitigation proposal-and-acceptance workflow that turns accepted actions into dated items on the assigned user's dashboard. Because the SMS is built into the platform, every report can link to the specific flight, aircraft, instructor, and training records behind it.
At a glance
- Occurrence reporting with an ECCAIRS-aligned taxonomy
- Optional anonymous submission for a non-punitive reporting culture
- Structured root cause analysis and investigation workflow
- Risk assessment matrix, EASA-aligned where applicable
- Mitigation proposal, review, and acceptance with dated action items
- Incidents linked to flights, aircraft, instructors, and training records
Aviatize safety management vs. spreadsheets and separate tools
Paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets capture an occurrence and little else. Because the Aviatize SMS is built into the operations platform, safety data flows from operational reality and the corrective-action loop is tracked end to end.
| Capability | Spreadsheets & separate tools | With Aviatize |
|---|---|---|
| Occurrence reporting | Paper forms and ad-hoc spreadsheets, formatted inconsistently | Structured reporting with an ECCAIRS-aligned taxonomy |
| Honest reporting | Reporters hesitate when submissions are attributable | Optional anonymous submission supports a non-punitive culture |
| Investigation context | Isolated incident data, disconnected from operations | Reports link to the specific flight, aircraft, instructor, and training records |
| Risk assessment | Severity judged informally, tracked inconsistently | Risk assessment matrix, EASA-aligned where applicable, before and after mitigation |
| Corrective actions | Mitigations agreed in a meeting, then forgotten | Proposals reviewed and accepted, then tracked as dated items on the assigned user's dashboard |
| Reporting & oversight | Reports assembled by hand for authority review | Safety performance indicators and trend reporting from a central dashboard |
A Complete SMS Built Into Your Operations Platform
From occurrence reporting to corrective action closure, Aviatize manages your entire safety lifecycle without standalone SMS tools or spreadsheets.
ECCAIRS-Aligned Occurrence Reporting
Standardized occurrence reporting following the ECCAIRS protocol. Report mandatory and voluntary occurrences with structured fields for occurrence type, timing, damage, injuries, and worst-case consequence assessment.
Anonymous Incident Reporting
Reporters can anonymize their submissions to encourage honest reporting without fear of repercussions. The safety manager receives the full report details without identifying information.
Root Cause Analysis
Investigate occurrences with structured root cause analysis tools. Identify contributing factors, document the causal chain, and determine what systemic changes will prevent recurrence.
Mitigation & Corrective Actions
Team members propose mitigations with descriptions, cost estimates, timeframes, and risk level assessments. The safety manager accepts or rejects proposals. Accepted actions become tracked tasks with due dates.
Risk Assessment & Classification
Classify occurrences by severity and likelihood. Track the risk level before and after mitigation. Build a clear picture of your organization's safety performance over time.
Safety Dashboards & Reporting
Monitor safety KPIs from a centralized dashboard. Track open occurrences, pending mitigations, overdue actions, and trend analysis. Export safety reports for authority review and management meetings.
How the Aviatize SMS Workflow Works
A structured end-to-end process from occurrence to resolution — giving your safety manager full control and your authority complete transparency.
Why an Integrated SMS Outperforms Standalone Tools
When your SMS lives inside your operations platform, safety data connects to scheduling, training, and maintenance — giving you insights standalone tools can't provide.
Connected to Operations
Occurrence reports link to specific flights, aircraft, instructors, and training records. The safety manager sees the full context — not just isolated incident data — making investigation faster and more accurate.
Mobile Reporting
Pilots and staff submit occurrence reports directly from the Aviatize mobile app. No separate login, no separate system. Lower the barrier to reporting and capture more safety data from the field.
Authority-Ready Documentation
All safety records, occurrence reports, root cause analyses, and corrective actions are stored digitally with timestamps and audit trails. Export complete safety documentation for your CAA or EASA authority review.
Safety management is one part of the Aviatize compliance suite. See how SMS, auditing, document tracking, and validation work together.

Aviatize is configured to your school's fleet, training programs, and workflows. We run a 30-minute call first to make sure we're the right fit, then turn on your trial and walk your team through it.
Frequently asked questions
What is aviation safety management system (SMS) software?
Aviation SMS software digitizes the safety management process required by aviation authorities. It handles occurrence reporting, hazard identification, risk assessment, root cause analysis, corrective action tracking, and safety performance monitoring — replacing paper forms and disconnected spreadsheets with an integrated digital system.
Is the Aviatize SMS ECCAIRS-aligned?
Yes. The Aviatize Safety Management System follows the ECCAIRS protocol — the European Coordination Centre for Accident and Incident Reporting Systems — for standardized occurrence reporting. Reports are structured to meet European aviation safety information sharing requirements.
Can pilots submit anonymous safety reports?
Yes. When reporting an occurrence, the submitter can choose to anonymize the report. The safety manager receives the full report — occurrence type, timing, description, damage, injuries, and worst-case consequence — without identifying information. This encourages honest reporting without fear of repercussions.
How does the Aviatize SMS connect to scheduling and training?
Because the SMS is built into the Aviatize platform, occurrence reports can link directly to specific flights, aircraft, instructors, and training records. This gives the safety manager full operational context during investigation — something standalone SMS tools cannot provide.
How does mitigation tracking work in Aviatize?
After an occurrence is reported and investigated, team members propose mitigations with descriptions, cost estimates, timeframes, and final risk level assessments. The safety manager reviews and accepts or rejects proposals. Accepted mitigations become tracked action items with due dates on the assigned user's dashboard, ensuring corrective actions are implemented on time.
