Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA)

The Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft (SAFA) program is a system where aviation safety inspectors in one country check foreign aircraft when they land at their airports. The goal is to ensure these aircraft meet safety standards and identify potential issues before they affect safety. If problems are found, they are reported, and the aircraft operator is asked to correct them. SAFA helps promote global aviation safety by encouraging consistent standards and sharing safety information across countries, ultimately reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring safe air travel worldwide.
