Safety Assurance System (SAS)
What is SAS?
In 2016, the Safety Assurance System (SAS) was rolled out to create a standardized risk-based, data-supported oversight system across Flight Standards Service (FS), Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (AXH), and other Aviation Safety (AVS) Offices. SAS is the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) oversight tool to perform certification, surveillance, and Continued Operational Safety (COS). SAS includes policy, processes, and associated software that FS, AXH, and other AVS Offices use to capture data when conducting oversight.

To best target oversight priorities and FAA’s oversight resources, the FAA has transitioned to a robust risk-based, data-supported oversight system.
