Customer Service Appeals & Petitions

The Customer Service Initiative (CSI) provides a way for you to request reconsideration of a decision made by an Aviation Safety office. The goals of the Initiative are to:

• Promote more consistency and fairness in applying FAA regulations
• Make employees accountable for achieving Aviation Safety's mission
• Promote earlier resolution of disagreements
• Document Aviation Safety decisions
