  9. Annex 6 requirements (cont.) • “An accepted safety management system shall clearly define lines of safetyaccountability throughout the operator’s organization, including a direct accountability for safety on the part of senior management.”

  10. IATA (7) External Audits. External audits of the SMS may be conducted by the regulator (FAA), code-share partners, customer organizations, or other third parties selected by the operator. These audits not only provide a strong interface with the oversight system (SMS-O) but also a secondary assurance system. Organizations may elect to have third-party audits of their SMS from organizations such as the IATA or other consultant organizations. AC 120-92
