The Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety and staff have a singular mission: to promote aviation safety in the interest of the American public and the millions of people who rely on the aviation industry for business, pleasure, and commerce. To fulfill this mission, Aviation Safety (AVS) directs and manages safety programs that fall into three primary areas: 1. Continued Operational Safety: AVS's most important function (and one that AVS will never compromise) is to ensure that existing certificate holders continue to meet the safety requirements, standards, and regulations of their original certification. AVS does this through safety surveillance and oversight programs, audits, evaluations, air traffic oversight, education and training, research, and accident/incident investigations. 2. Standards and Policy: AVS creates and amends as necessary the rules and regulations that provide the safety standards for people, organizations, and equipment operating in the U.S. civil aviation system. AVS does this through policy development, analysis, and rulemaking. 3. Certification: AVS issues initial and renews existing certificates that allow (i) people, organizations, and equipment to operate in the U.S. civil aviation system, (ii) manufacturers to build aircraft and avionics, and (iii) organizations to provide maintenance services.
