FAA Compliance Program

The Federal Aviation Administration Compliance Program uses collaborative problem solving, engagement, root-cause analysis, transparency, and information exchange to identify safety issues underlying deviations from standards and correct them effectively. The program supports a just-culture, risk-based approach in which appropriate non-enforcement Compliance Actions such as counseling, training, and on-the-spot correction restore compliance and address underlying causes, while intentional, reckless, criminal, or otherwise serious conduct remains subject to enforcement.
