Book excerpt: The mission of the Aviation Safety Counselor program is to support the Federal Aviation Administration's Aviation Safety Program in promoting and fostering aviation safety. This program encompasses all elements of the aviation community. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 stipulates the mission of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It says, in part, The Administrator shall regulate air commerce in such a manner as to best promote its development and safety," (Section 103(a)). Our Aviation Safety Program (ASP) is supported by the Office of the Administrator and the strength of the entire FAA. The program encourages total involvement of the aviation community. Representatives of all segments of the aviation industry are encouraged to participate with the FAA in the conduct of workshops and seminars designed to broaden and refresh technical knowledge. There are Safety Program Managers (SPM's) assigned to each Flight Standards District Office to organize ASP activities. There are over 3,000 volunteers serving as Aviation Safety Counselors (ASC's), sharing their technical expertise and professional knowledge with the aviation community. This document describes the safety program and provides guidance to volunteer counselors in the performance of their duties and responsibilities in support of the program. The FAA established the ASP on the premise that accident rates could be reduced by encouraging members of the aviation community to improve their attitudes toward safety by refreshing their aeronautical knowledge and by improving their aeronautical skills. The ASP began as the brainchild of James (Pete) Campbell, former Flight Standards Division Manager and the program's first national coordinator. Although the position, title and headquarters parent organization has changed several times since 1970, our mission has remained the same: to enhance aviation safety through public education.
