Aerospace insurance provider Global Aerospace's SM4 aviation safety programme is expanding to include Canadian policyholders. The SM4 programme, which launched in 2010 in the US, continues to focus on providing resources to help the aviation industry achieve higher levels of operational safety.

SM4 will now provide select general aviation policyholders in Canada, excluding light aircraft and UAS, with access to an online learning management system (LMS) that includes advanced training courses to support the current and next generation of aviation personnel.

The LMS provides Global Aerospace clients with customised online training for both personal and professional development to support their continuous improvement. It includes: easy, online access to practical and interactive learning plans designed by each of Global Aerospace's SM4 partners in their area of expertise; time-efficient, impactful courses that allow for seamless integration into the operator's training programme; continually updated courses to keep up with the latest developments in business aviation safety; unlimited number of user accounts per client; and a certificate of completion provided to participants for each completed learning plan.

Chief underwriting officer Steve Hughes says: “As a leader in this industry, it is imperative that we continuously develop solutions and services to benefit our clients and their brokers. By expanding our SM4 safety programme into Canada, we are providing access to valuable resources that will help them manage risks and strengthen their safety culture.”

The SM4 programme, now in its 12th year, continues to focus on providing resources to help the aviation industry achieve higher levels of operational safety. Since 2010, the company has committed over $5.7 million to support SM4 and help its clients pursue higher levels of safety.
