An Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) helps flight operators identify and reduce potential safety concerns and mitigate risks. It is a voluntary, nonpunitive reporting program that provides third-party facilitation, tracking, and corrective action recommendations to strengthen an organization’s safety culture.
ACSF members participating in ASAP also have the ability to share de-identified report data with NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) and the FAA’s Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) program, contributing to broader industry safety awareness, trend identification, and data-driven safety improvements.
ACSF provides operators participating in its ASAP program with access to its own Safety Management System (SMS) tools, including safety reporting, risk assessments, and Flight Risk Assessment Tools (FRAT), at no additional cost.
Operators who prefer to use their existing SMS platform can continue doing so while participating in ACSF’s ASAP program. ACSF also collaborates with industry safety technology providers to streamline ASAP reporting and reduce duplicate data entry.
Want an easy way to identify, report, and resolve potential safety issues without fear of reprisal from the FAA?
The ACSF brings you all the benefits of the FAA’s voluntary ASAP—typically at a lower cost.
ACSF collaborates with industry organizations and safety technology providers to expand access to ASAP, improve reporting efficiency, and strengthen safety across business aviation.
Vertical Aviation International (VAI) And ACSF partner on ASAP to encourage and promote the safety benefits to the rotary community. Through a membership with ACSF and VAI, operators receive full access to ASAP. Find out more by visiting VAI or by contacting ACSF.
Rise SMS and ACSF are partnering to simplify ASAP reporting for operators using the Rise SMS platform. Through a planned API integration, participating operators will be able to submit ASAP reports directly through Rise SMS to ACSF, reducing duplicate reporting and allowing operators to continue using their existing SMS platform.Contact ACSF for information about ASAP participation.
An Aviation Safety Action Program is a significant contributor to an operator’s Safety Management System. And it can be used both to evaluate and improve the operator’s safety culture.
All participants have access to valuable safety information that might not otherwise be obtainable.
The end result is to help resolve safety issues and possibly eliminate deviations from the Federal Aviation Regulations.
The ASAP uses employee input to identify significant safety concerns and issues, operational deficiencies, non-compliance with regulations, deviations from company policies and procedures, and unusual events.
The philosophy behind the ASAP is valuable in developing a positive, proactive and effective SMS.
The ASAP fosters a voluntary, cooperative, non-punitive environment for the open reporting of safety-of-flight concerns.
Each report is investigated and corrective actions determined based on a non-disciplinary approach to flight safety.
Note: A report will not be accepted into the ASAP if the event involves any of the following: intentional noncompliance; reckless conduct; criminal activity; substance abuse, controlled substances, alcohol; or intentional falsification.
