For the people doing the work

A report should lead somewhere.

For the submitter

Visibility into what happened to the report, from receipt to closure.

For the safety team

Clear ownership of triage, analysis and corrective action, with due dates that are tracked.

For the operation

De-identified trends that show where the same hazard keeps appearing, so leaders act on patterns instead of anecdotes.

This is the confidential employee reporting system 14 CFR Part 5 requires, connected to the safety risk management and safety assurance it feeds.

Programs & operational tools

Six programs, one system, built around Part 5.

Safety reporting & corrective action

Connects an employee's report to review, root-cause analysis, corrective action and verification.

What this supports

ASAP and MSAP workflows follow the program's memorandum of understanding, with access controlled to the event review committee. Submitters see progress; the safety team owns the response.

Anchor 14 CFR 5.71 employee reporting; ASAP/MSAP program agreements.

Flight risk assessment

A FRAT shaped to the fleet, crews and operating environment, with weighted factors and documented mitigations.

What this supports

A defined escalation path leads to the person who holds the flight decision.

Anchor 14 CFR Part 5 Subpart C, Safety Risk Management.

Operational control

Brings risk information, assigned authority and flight-release decisions into one review.

What this supports

Visibility into unresolved items as conditions change.

Anchor 14 CFR 135.77 and 121.533–121.537, responsibility for operational control; operations specifications.

Maintenance & MEL oversight

Keeps aircraft status, open discrepancies, deferrals and applicable limitations connected to the people planning and reviewing the flight.

What this supports

Authorized personnel make maintenance and return-to-service decisions; the record shows who and when.

Anchor MEL under 14 CFR 91.213, 135.179 and 121.628 and OpSpec D095; records under Part 43 and 91.417.

Hazmat documentation

Shipment documentation, acceptance checks, emergency response information and training currency for regulated shipments.

What this supports

Including Class 7 radioactive material and special-permit conditions where they apply.

Anchor 49 CFR Part 175 and Part 172 Subparts G and H; 14 CFR Part 121 Subpart Z and Part 135 Subpart K hazmat training programs; OpSpec A055.

Audits & operational assurance

Findings tied to evidence, owners and corrective actions, with follow-up that checks whether the process actually improved.

What this supports

Supports internal evaluation programs and third-party audit standards such as IS-BAO.

Anchor 14 CFR Part 5 Subpart D, Safety Assurance.
