The FFS Initiative is a service-wide effort to transform the culture of Flight Standards into an organization that facilitates critical thinking, interdependence, and consistency to better serve aviation safety. One of the primary ways of accomplishing this change is to eliminate redundancies and promote greater efficiency and agility by realigning Flight Standards organizations. Organizational changes include the elimination of regional Flight Standards offices and the creation of four functional organizations within Flight Standards: Air Carrier Safety Assurance, General Aviation Safety Assurance, Safety Standards, and Foundational Business. The reorganized Flight Standards will be a streamlined structure that will allow for faster response times, single points of accountability in each functional organization, greater agility and consistency.
