Research Notes
Section 91.1021 — Internal safety reporting and incident/accident response — requires the program manager to maintain an internal safety reporting system and an incident/accident response capability.
Safety management: Most major fractional programs operate Safety Management Systems (SMS) approaching the standard required for Part 121 carriers. Confidential reporting channels, hazard identification processes, and corrective action tracking are required.
Incident/accident response: The program manager must have an incident response plan covering emergency notification, NTSB/FAA reporting, family communications (for passenger incidents), media response, and operational continuity.
