FAA's Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)

The FAA's Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) is a voluntary initiative encouraging airline and maintenance personnel to report safety concerns, violations, or errors without fear of immediate punishment. By fostering open communication, ASAP allows organizations to identify risks early and implement improvements, leading to a safer aviation environment. Participants are protected by confidentiality and encouraged to share honest information, which helps the FAA and operators promptly address issues before they lead to accidents. Overall, ASAP aims to enhance safety through proactive reporting and collaboration between employees and regulators.
