The survey this year is being conducted under our Safety Awareness, Feedback, and Evaluation (SAFE) Program (OMB Control No. 2120-0759).The purpose of the program is to promote and maintain the safety of our aviation system by continuously improving services to maintenance technicians and repairers. The feedback you provide will enable the FAA to better serve you and all maintenance technicians and repairers, while ensuring the safety of the National Airspace System.

You can expect to receive your invitation letter, paper survey, and postage-paid return envelope within the next couple of weeks. For your convenience, you will also be able to complete the survey online using your computer or mobile device such as a smartphone. The survey will be accessible through a web address or QR code provided on your invitation letter.
