SMS is being forced up on the various aviation orgs as well. Warbirds SAAA RAA (i think) and I must say when the systems are made for airline charter or AOC type groups that works fine but when it is an association of private individuals, it is a waste of resources.
The orgs are getting lumbered with something that meets certain criteria set down from CASA but does not really do anything at the coal face. Pro Active education materials and campaigns are far more effective.
As an example the Human Factors course RAA did a few years back, and new folk have to pass now, is a good thing. Boring topic maybe but a good thing to do. Trying to impliment an SMS and reporting program like IRIS is in my opinion doomed to fail.
