Reporting is encouraged by providing the volunteer reporter protection from certificate action. ASAP forms a safety team between the FAA, the certificate holder (airline/operator), employee, and the operator's employee labor organization.

Catastrophic Failure Conditions must be Extremely Improbable. (average probability < 1 x 10 −9 per flight hour) The safety objectives associated with Catastrophic Failure Conditions may be satisfied by demonstrating that: No single failure will result in a Catastrophic Failure Condition; Each Catastrophic Failure Condition is extremely ...
The FAA issues ADs by three different processes: [5] Standard AD process: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), followed by a Final Rule; Final Rule and Request for Comments; Emergency airworthiness directives – issued without time for comment.

FHA results are normally shown in spreadsheet form, with columns identifying function, failure condition, phase of flight, effect, hazard classification, DAL, means of detection, aircrew response, and related information. Each hazard is assigned a unique identifier that is tracked throughout the entire safety life cycle.
