Abstract	In this presentation, the development and implementation of a Safety Management System (SMS) by the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization (ATO) will be briefly described. The context of this implementation, as compared to other international air navigation service providers will be discussed. Several real world examples will then be explored. The first example is a brief overview of the Safety Risk Management (SRM) process now being used by the FAA’s ATO when changes to the National Airspace System (NAS) are made. Specifically we will look at the process being followed to allow the introduction of Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS’s) in NAS airspace. The second example focuses on the measurement and improvement of Safety Culture within the FAA’s ATO. A recreation of an international aircraft accident (Überlingen, 2002) provides a strong example of the importance in insuring the safety risks are identified between engineering and operational disciplines.
