A growing number of third-party safety technology companies are introducing tools that make Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) reporting faster, easier, and more reliable for operators of every size. These modern platforms are designed to eliminate the friction points that often discourage reporting, such as email attachments, manual routing, and outdated forms, by offering automated workflows that deliver reports directly to the right stakeholders, including the FAA, local FSDOs, internal Safety Officers, and the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF).
Many of these new solutions allow operators to create an account quickly, add their teams, and distribute a QR code that enables instant reporting from any device. Some platforms even support anonymous submissions, making it easier for pilots, technicians, instructors, and line personnel to report safety concerns or events without hesitation.
The most significant advancement is the automatic routing of reports. Instead of safety managers manually forwarding documents or relying on inconsistent email chains, these systems send the report to all designated recipients simultaneously—ensuring ACSF receives the information promptly for operators participating in the ASAP program. This reduces the chance of missed or delayed reports and supports a more consistent, transparent safety culture.
As aviation continues to prioritize proactive risk management, these accessible reporting tools help bring more operators into voluntary safety programs and strengthen the quality and timeliness of data shared across the industry. The result is a simpler, more modern path to participation—one that supports both internal safety goals and the broader mission of organizations like ACSF to enhance safety across the air charter and business aviation community.
