What is GSAP?

GSAP, (Ground Safety Action Program), is a FAA sponsored, voluntary, self-reporting program designed to identify and reduce possible safety hazards. GSAP reports are for any operational safety hazards and to report potential non-compliance of company policies and procedures or regulations.

The FAA, the Association and American Airlines Corporate Safety management partner together as the Event Review Committee (ERC) using the confidential reports collected with the intent to improve safety through cooperative follow-up and appropriate non-punitive actions, reffered to as skills enhancement, to increase education and awareness.
