Abstract: The Safety Awareness, Feedback, and Evaluation (SAFE) survey program is a voluntary collection with five distinct external, aviation community stakeholder groups. The stakeholder groups include general aviation pilots, aviation maintenance technicians, commercial and airline transport pilot (ATP) rated pilots, repair station managers, and air carrier management. The FAA currently conducts two different surveys per year which would indicate each stakeholder group will be surveyed in a rotational basis once in every two and a half years.
