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 The format, scope and content of this revision differ significantly from the superseded instruction.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.

It went something like, “Well, there is nothing new in aviation medicine or human factors…it’s all the same old stuff rehashed over and over!” My immediate reaction was to less-than-politely suggest that my colleague consider another field of study. However, after some delibera- tion, I realized that there was some truth in what he said. In the end, I merely informed him that, yes, there are some issues that require revisiting a number of times, yet there is also a plethora of areas that aero- Andrew H.
