Safety Reporting

In support of our overall safety goals, and important step towards achieving a companywide Safety Management System (SMS), Silver Airways has established this system through which Silver Airways Flight Crews, Inflight, Mechanics, Dispatchers, and all Other Employees can 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 overall process promotes collaboration among employee work groups and management in the early identification of hazards in our operation and enhances the proactive approach regarding early response to safety concerns and corrective actions that are at the heart of the Silver Airways Safety Culture.

Silver Airways, in cooperation with our employee labor organizations and the FAA, has established an Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) for Silver Airways Pilots, Flight Attendants, Dispatchers, and Maintainers. ASAP is a voluntary, self-reporting program that collects data and identifies significant safety concerns, operational deficiencies, non-compliance with regulations, and deviations from Company policies and procedures that would otherwise go unreported because of the sensitive nature of the information. ASAP provides a non-disciplinary Just Culture approach to reporting safety concerns, in partnership with the relevant departments and the FAA. The ASAP Event Review Committee (ERC) reviews and analyzes each event in order to make system wide and individual corrections.

Safety issues are resolved through corrective actions, rather than through punishment or discipline. This program allows employees to voluntarily disclose mistakes or errors.

For more information please refer to the FAA ASAP Advisory Circular 120-66B.

Silver Airways has developed a system for the submission of safety concerns and event reports by all of our employees to help identify safety and operational deficiencies. 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.

Silver Airways has implemented a Fatigue Risk Management Plan (FRMP), which establishes an open safety reporting process that allows all Pilots to report any condition, action, or process which adversely affects flight crew fatigue. Every fatigue report will be evaluated by the Fatigue Review Board (FRB) to determine root cause using an objective assessment of data.

Employee reporting is crucial for Silver Airways to quickly and proactively correct safety deficiencies. If you have any questions, please contact the Silver Airways Safety Department, at safety@silverairways.com
