The math your options come down to

SMS consultants

$10–25k

Great work, priced for fleets. Plus scheduling, meetings, and their timeline — with the deadline closing.

Software platforms

$200+/mo forever

Their "free manual template" is an on-ramp to a subscription a 3-aircraft operator will never open after acceptance.

Part Five Ready

$1,995 once

The 90% that's identical for every small operator, professionally drafted — with guidance on the 10% that must be yours. Free updates for the product's life. The manual alone costs this much elsewhere; here it's one item of seven.

What's in the zip

SMS Manual template (~40 pp, .docx) — mapped clause-by-clause to Part 5 Subparts A–F, with [BRACKETED] fill-ins and delete-before-submission guidance notes
Gap Analysis Workbook (.xlsx) — every Part 5 requirement: plain-English meaning, evidence your ASI expects, status, owner, due date
Implementation Plan + Declaration of Compliance — the phased path FSDOs expect, pre-built as a 12-month plan
Hazard Register seeded with 40 real Part 135 hazards — maintenance AND ops, so you never start from a blank page
Employee Reporting System kit — confidential form, policy language, and the no-blame handling procedure §5.71 expects
Safety Promotion pack — new-hire training deck + recurrent briefing one-pagers
FSDO Submission pack — cover letter, declaration, and the "what your ASI will ask" prep sheet

Why templates get bounced: big-operator frameworks scaled down. This kit is sized for small operators from the first page — including the CASS-to-SMS bridge most vendors forget maintenance even exists.

Price rises as the deadline approaches

$1,995 until Dec 31 · then $2,495 · final 90 days $2,995

Earliest buyers get the most implementation runway · 30-day full refund · free updates for life

Kit — $1,995 PRO — $3,995

What PRO adds: after you fill in the kit, send us your documents. A Director of Aviation Maintenance Operations reviews them line by line and returns written feedback plus a recorded video walkthrough and a punch list — within 10 business days, no meetings to schedule. It's the consultant's red pen without the consultant's invoice.

Complete the set: §5.27 wants an Emergency Response Plan ($795, or $2,495 bundled with this kit) and §5.91 wants your people trained — SMS Essentials is the 4-module video course for line personnel: $495, one license, unlimited seats, certificates for everyone.

Fair questions

Will the FAA accept a template?

The FAA accepts your SMS. This kit is the 90% that's structurally identical for every small operator — built on the FAA's own Part 5 framework, with every section citing its clause — plus guidance on the 10% that must be genuinely yours. "Acceptance-ready," not "FAA-approved" (no template can claim that).

How long does implementation take?

Most small operators complete the documents in 3–6 working sessions using the gap analysis as the to-do list. The implementation plan then phases the operational pieces over the months the rule allows.

Does it cover §91.147 air tour operators?

Yes — the applicability section and scaling guidance address air tour operators directly.

What if the rule changes?
