Professional Resources in System Management (Prism) is showcasing here at the NBAA show its Safety Management System (SMS) iPhone app, introduced last month. The Prism app allows users to submit flight and ground risk analysis and hazard/incident reports directly from their iPhones, and can be used in both online and offline modes. The app can also create new Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT) reports and access stored pending reports for final submission; document risks and mitigations; and automatically email safety/hazard report notifications.

“It’s important for aviation operators to track and analyze their risks so they can improve their safety performance,” said Steve Witowski, v-p of Prism Business Aviation Services. “The release of the Prism iPhone app is just one of the many resources Prism offers to help employees communicate hazards and promote a healthy and active safety culture.”

Added Chris Young, vice president of Prism Helicopter Services, “We live in a mobile world, and to remain efficient our customers need to be able to access their SMS tools whenever they need to, wherever they are.”

The Prism app is available free from the iTunes store. NBAA attendees can view the app at the Argus International booth (N4910). Prism, a wholly owned subsidiary of Argus, provides SMS solutions, and is an FAA recognized certification consultant.
