Gold Standard Certificate
The Federal Aviation Gold Standard Program is a voluntary self-certification program intended to recognize agencies who have met aviation safety requirements. To encourage a positive change in aviation safety, GSA and the Interagency Committee for Aviation Policy (ICAP) award the Gold Standard Certificate. Anyone applying for a Federal Aviation Award must first obtain the Gold Standard Certificate.

To receive a Gold Standard Certificate, an agency must verify that it:

- has an operations manual
- has a maintenance manual (or its equivalent)
- has a training program
- runs a safety program
- has a survey program
- has a safety data collection program
Agencies who meet all of these requirements are eligible for Gold Standard Certification. To apply, agencies should review the Gold Standard Certificate Overview [Word, 31k], and complete the Gold Standard Application Form [Word, 78k] and mail it to:
