Air Charter Safety Foundation Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP)

The ACSF ASAP provides a robust process to collect, analyze, and propose corrective action for employee-reported safety hazards, incidents or concerns. De-identified data from ASAP reports is also archived into a growing database of safety information to support learning and continuous improvement across the industry. Participating organizations execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ACSF and the FAA, and their employees gain a straightforward online process to enter safety reports. An event review committee with members from ACSF, FAA and ASAP-participating organizations reviews every report, identifies and communicates corrective actions as appropriate, and approves qualifying reports for archiving. This frees participating organizations from those functions and ensures a standardized, unbiased, and timely process. To foster an open and non-punitive context, the FAA applies favorable consideration for reports where violation of the FARs may be implied, but no malicious intent is indicated.  In keeping with the ASAP MOU and the FAA’s new compliance philosophy, no FAA administrative or enforcement action is used for reports accepted into ASAP.

The requirements to become an ASAP participating organization are:

• Be an ACSF member (annual organizational membership dues apply)
• Pay an annual ASAP Administrative fee
• Execute an ASAP Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ACSF and FAA

Fees for ACSF membership and ASAP participation are predicated on the operators’ fleet and workforce size, respectively. For policyholders with 25 or fewer employees and/or fleets up to 6 total aircraft, selection of this Performance Vector option results in USAIG covering both the annual ACSF membership dues and the annual ASAP administrative fee. Policyholder organizations larger than that can still utilize this offer, but in that case USAIG covers only the annual ACSF membership dues and the operator must self-fund its ASAP fee.
