Preflight Mitigator Rebrands as RISE SMS. New Name, Expanded Mission: A Modern Safety Management System for the Future of Aviation.
-- Preflight Mitigator, a trusted provider of aviation safety risk management software, today announced its official rebrand to RISE SMS. The new name reflects the company’s evolution from a risk assessment tool into a full-featured, future-ready Safety Management System (SMS) platform designed to elevate safety standards across aviation operations of all sizes.
This rebrand marks a significant milestone in the company’s growth and long-term vision. RISE SMS now supports the entire safety management lifecycle—from assessments and hazard reporting to corrective actions, performance monitoring, and safety promotion. The updated brand and platform signal a renewed focus on scalability, intelligent automation, and data-driven safety culture.
Since its launch, Preflight Mitigator focused on simplifying safety risk assessments in an industry bogged down by spreadsheets and paper-based processes. Over time, the platform expanded to include tools for safety assurance, hazard reporting, policy distribution, and more—leading to the need for a name that captures its full capabilities and broader impact.
RISE SMS now serves a diverse customer base across FAA-regulated sectors, including FAR Parts 91, 125, 135, 141, 145, and 139. The platform is trusted by operators, maintenance teams, flight schools, and airport authorities to streamline their safety processes and stay ahead of evolving regulatory requirements.
“RISE SMS represents who we’ve become—and where we’re going,” said Michael Sidler, CEO and Founder. “We’re no longer just helping customers complete risk assessments. We’re equipping them with a full-featured SMS platform that adapts to regulatory changes, drives cultural improvements, and supports safety teams every step of the way.”
While the platform’s core ease-of-use and FAA compliance remain unchanged, the rebrand introduces a forward-looking roadmap focused on AI-driven insights, systemic risk detection, and automation of audits and evaluations.
