ACTION: Background The primary goal of this proposed AC revision is to clarify FAA policy, facilitate achievement of an ASAP’s safety goals, and encourage wider participation in the program. The objective of an ASAP is to encourage employees of certificate holders or other operators to voluntarily report safety information that may be critical to identifying potential precursors to accidents. The FAA has determined that identifying these precursors is essential to further reducing the already low accident rate. The ASAP provides for the collection, analysis, and retention of the safety data that is obtained through the reporting process. ASAP participants use ASAP safety data, much of which would otherwise be unobtainable, to develop corrective actions for identified safety concerns, and to educate the appropriate parties to prevent a recurrence of the same type of safety event. The agency will consider all comments received by November 4, 2014. Comments received after that date may be considered if consideration will not delay agency action on the review.

Background

    The primary goal of this proposed AC revision is to clarify FAA 
policy, facilitate achievement of an ASAP's safety goals, and encourage 
wider participation in the program. The objective of an ASAP is to 
encourage employees of certificate holders or other operators to 
voluntarily report safety information that may be critical to 
identifying potential precursors to accidents. The FAA has determined 
that identifying these precursors is essential to further reducing the 
already low accident rate. The ASAP provides for the collection, 
analysis, and retention of the safety data that is obtained through the 
reporting process. ASAP participants use ASAP safety data, much of 
which would otherwise be unobtainable, to develop corrective actions 
for identified safety concerns, and to educate the appropriate parties 
to prevent a recurrence of the same type of safety event.
    The agency will consider all comments received by November 4, 2014. 
Comments received after that date may be considered if consideration 
will not delay agency action on the review. A copy of the advisory 
circular is available for review at https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/
draftdocs/afs ac/.
