Introduction
|
|
As part of our overall safety goals, PSA Airlines has established a system for our Flight
Crews, Maintenance, and Dispatchers to voluntarily identify and report safety and
operational concerns. The collected information is reviewed and analyzed to facilitate
early detection and improved awareness of operational deficiencies and adverse trends.
The information specified in employee reports are used to identify the root causes and
determine appropriate remedial actions which are then monitored for effectiveness. This
process promotes collaboration between employee work groups and management for the
early identification of hazards and to maintain a proactive approach regarding safety
concerns and corrective action recommendations.

ASAP Program
|
|
PSA Airlines, in cooperation with our employee labor organizations and the FAA, has
established an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) for Pilots, Dispatch and
Maintenance. The PSA Airlines ASAP is a voluntary, self-reporting program designed to
identify and reduce possible flight safety concerns. 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. In
partnership with the all relevant departments, labor organizations, and the FAA, each
report is investigated and corrective actions determined based on a non-disciplinary
approach to flight safety.

Operation Reporting
|
|
PSA Airlines has developed a system for the submission of operation reports by our
Flight Crews, Maintenance, Ground Crew, and Dispatcher employees to identify safety
and operational deficiencies within their respective departments. These reports will be
investigated and analyzed to identify hazards; determine appropriate safety and/or
operational improvements; monitor the effectiveness of corrective actions, and
proactively promote employee awareness of potential problems.

|
Fatigue Reporting
|
|
PSA Airlines has developed a system for the submission of fatigue reports for our Flight
Crews, Pilots and Flight Attendants, to help identify ways to reduce causal factors
leading to a fatigue. These reports will be investigated and analyzed to identify root
cause; determine appropriate safety and/or operational improvements; monitor the
effectiveness of corrective actions, and proactively promote employee awareness on how
to mitigate fatigue risks.
