Safety Culture
Billings Flying Service believes in doing the job right while keeping our crews and the people on the ground safe. Our crews regularly attend SMS (Safety Management System) training to ensure that we are up to date on the latest techniques. Our fleet is inspected by our crews and then go on to meet FAA approval. Billings Flying Service crews stay current with a web based safety system that allows us to identify and report safety concerns from anywhere in the world.
