Purpose. To issue policies and provisions of the Naval Aviation Safety Management System (SMS). The format, scope and content of this revision differ significantly from the superseded instruction. Changes include compliance with reference (a), the establishment of the SMS, removal of message traffic format and the data collection appendices, which were replaced with data collection in the on-line environment, and clarification of mishap exception rules. This instruction is a complete revision and should be reviewed in its entirety. 2. Cancellation. OPNAVINST 3750.6R and per appendix N, safety investigation report (SIR) 3750/1 through SIR 3750/16. 3. Action. All naval aviation personnel shall familiarize themselves with this instruction and other safety directives applicable to them and their assigned duties. All naval aviation activities shall establish and maintain an aggressive naval aviation SMS, which includes the detection, investigation, and elimination of hazards in naval aviation. As this SMS is a relatively new development, within the naval aviation community, the evolution of concepts, policy changes and the implementation of lessons learned are inevitable.
