FAA Alaska Aviation Safety Initiative (FAASI) Report

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiated the FAA Alaska Aviation Safety Initiative (FAASI) in 2021 in response to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommendations regarding aviation safety in Alaska. The FAASI Tiger Team was formed from organizational leadership across multiple lines of business to carry out the FAASI mission. To date, FAASI has produced an inventory of wide-ranging safety efforts, stakeholder feedback, and 11 recommendations to improve aviation safety in Alaska. The 2022 FAASI Roadmap provided an outline for how the FAA would continue to address the 11 FAASI recommendations through FY22.

The Alaskan Region welcomed a new permanent Regional Administrator (RA) in the last month of FY22. The RA continued the collaborative work with the FAASI Tiger Team to close out the fiscal year, and this report provides the status of the 11 recommendations at the end of FY22. All of the FAASI documents can be found on the FAASI page.
