Improve Aviation Safety Effective aircraft safety is crucial in
protecting lives and preserving valuable assets. To set the
national standard in aviation safety, GSA and the Interagency
Committee for Aviation Policy (ICAP) pioneer efforts to explore
and establish best practices in aviation safety. The ICAP has
established the Safety Standards and Training Subcommittee to
oversee the following programs: - The Federal Aviation Safety
Officer (ASO) Program trains aviation safety officers on how to
manage risk and promote safe practices. - The Aviation Resource
Management Survey (ARMS) program supplies federal agencies with
a team of experts to assess their aviation safety standards. -
The Gold Standard Certificate program acknowledges agencies that
have achieved superior aviation safety standards. All nominees
for the Federal Aviation Program Awards must have the Gold
Standard Certificate.
