The more than 400 maintenance professionals working for Flight Options will be covered by the FAA’s Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), according to a recently signed memorandum of understanding (MOU). In March 2006, Flight Options became the first fractional provider to establish ASAP for its pilots.  ASAP is a voluntary reporting program that provides a mechanism for company personnel to identify potential safety hazards. Under this program, Flight Options and the FAA cooperate to improve aviation safety through self-reporting, joint follow-up and prompt corrective action.
