Airport Safety Inspections

Each year, the Airport Safety Inspection Team makes plans to visit more than thirty Arizona airports. The team conducts inspections of public use airfield facilities and conditions for the FAA's Airport Safety Data Program.

The objectives of the Airport Safety Data Program are:

• Promote airport safety through contact with airport management
• Identify and report safety conditions at airports
• Make safety recommendations to correct deficiencies

The Airport Safety Data Program also provides airport information for:

• The federal government's Airport Facility Directory (AFD)
• The FAA's airport data base
• Publishers of aeronautical charts and airport guides
