The US Forest Service Center for Aviation Risk Management and Training Systems is founded on the philosophy that all aircraft mishaps are preventable. The following principles guide our management systems and our actions. The desired end product of all that we do as Forest Service employees is the preservation and protection of persons, property and the land. As Forest Service employees, it is our responsibility
to report hazards that could cause an accident. All hazards that
could potentially jeopardize our mission should be reported through
the SAFECOM reporting system. The aviation mission exists in a complex, high-risk environment. Known hazards must be managed with effective and reasonable mitigation to achieve successful out comes. The aviation organization will aggressively apply the principles of risk management. Organizational learning is crucial to our future as a leader in fire and aviation. It is important that we maintain a just environment that encourages open and honest reporting of our mistakes and failures as well as our successes. It is essential that we continually learn from our experiences, both good and bad, and improve our effectiveness and execution. The Forest Service must develop the knowledge
and skills of our employees to maintain and enhance our mission
capabilities.
