The FAA is embarking on an FAA General Aviation (GA) Safety Outreach Initiative. It is intended to increase the GA community’s awareness of safety management practices that could elevate the industry’s overall safety performance.
The primary goals of the FAA GA Safety Outreach Initiative include:
- Increase the GA community’s awareness of the Safety Attributes and the benefits of applying them
- Increase participation in the Safety Management System Voluntary Program (SMSVP)
- Reaching these goals will result in a desired outcome of a lower accident and incident rate in the GA community.
