Sky Bridge Airlines operates within a complex regulatory framework designed to ensure aviation
safety and operational reliability. The flight operations department maintains comprehensive
compliance programs and safety oversight mechanisms.

**FAA Regulatory Framework:** Primary regulatory oversight comes from the Federal Aviation
Administration, which establishes standards for aircraft operations, crew qualifications,
maintenance requirements, and safety management systems. Sky Bridge Airlines maintains
continuous compliance through documented procedures and regular audits.

**Safety Management System (SMS):** The airline's SMS provides structured processes for safety
risk identification, assessment, and mitigation. Flight operations participates actively in
safety reporting, incident investigation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

**Certificate Operations Specifications:** The airline operates under specific authorizations
defining approved aircraft types, routes, and operational limitations. These specifications
are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changing regulatory requirements.

**Crew Qualification Standards:** Flight crew members must maintain current qualifications
including medical certificates, proficiency checks, and training requirements. Operations
personnel verify crew qualifications before assignment and monitor currency status.

**Aircraft Certification and Documentation:** All operated aircraft must maintain valid
certificates of airworthiness, registration, and maintenance release. Operations coordinates
with maintenance to ensure documentation accuracy and regulatory compliance.

**International Operations Compliance:** Flights outside U.S. airspace require compliance
with ICAO standards and bilateral agreements. Operations personnel maintain familiarity
with international requirements including language proficiency and documentation standards.

**Drug and Alcohol Testing:** The airline operates a comprehensive substance abuse prevention
program including random testing, post-accident testing, and reasonable suspicion protocols.
Operations supports these programs through scheduling coordination and policy enforcement.

**Security Compliance:** Aviation security requirements include crew security training,
passenger screening procedures, and threat assessment. Operations coordinates with security
departments and law enforcement agencies for threat response.

**Environmental Compliance:** Operations must comply with noise abatement procedures,
emissions standards, and environmental impact assessments. Fuel efficiency programs and
noise monitoring contribute to regulatory compliance.

**Data Recording and Reporting:** Flight data monitoring systems record operational parameters
for regulatory compliance and safety analysis. Mandatory incident reporting ensures
transparency and continuous improvement.

**Audit and Surveillance:** Regular internal audits and FAA surveillance ensure compliance
effectiveness. Operations participates in corrective action development and implementation
following audit findings.

**Training and Awareness:** All operations personnel receive regular regulatory training
covering changes in requirements and compliance procedures. Safety culture emphasizes
voluntary reporting and proactive compliance.

**Vendor and Supplier Oversight:** Third-party providers including maintenance facilities,
catering services, and ground handlers must demonstrate regulatory compliance. Operations
conducts vendor audits and monitors performance.

**Continuous Compliance Monitoring:** Automated systems monitor compliance status in real-time.
Alerts notify operations of potential compliance issues requiring immediate attention.

**Regulatory Change Management:** Operations maintains awareness of regulatory developments
through industry associations, regulatory briefings, and professional networks. Changes
are assessed for operational impact and implemented systematically.
