The Air Charter Safety Foundation’s (ACSF) is pleased to announce that it has surpassed 5,000 reports submitted into its Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP). ACSF is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration as a third-party ASAP program manager, in order to share, verify and mitigate aviation safety-related issues.
The goal of ASAP is to enhance aviation safety through the prevention of incidents and accidents. The ACSF ASAP currently has 145 participating companies (67 Part 135 charter operators and 78 Part 91 flight departments), who voluntarily report and help resolve safety issues in a “non-threatening” environment.
“This is a major milestone, as these 5,000 safety events might not have been reported without the operators’ participation in the ASAP program,” said ACSF President Bryan Burns. “There’s a wealth of significant data being collected and shared, and we’ve partnered with the leading aviation safety organizations to integrate the data collection process into existing safety management systems.”
