Safety Assurance System (SAS)

Document
Privacy - FAA - SAS - PIA - 2025.pdf

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) developed this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the Safety Assurance System (SAS). SAS is used 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 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. SAS operates in accordance with the following authorities:  49 U.S.C. §44103, 49 U.S.C. §44701, 49 U.S.C. §44702, 49 U.S.C. §44705, 49 U.S.C. §44707, 49 CFR § 171.15 and 49 CFR § 171.16. Under the E-Government Act of 2002, the FAA is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) because SAS collects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from certificated individuals, Other Regulated Entities (OREs), Certificate Holders/Applicants (CH/As), check airmen, and passengers.
