This letter is to notify you that you have been randomly selected to participate in an FAA research project. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Standards Service has made it a best practice to survey Air Transport Pilots and Commercial Pilots to assess the quality of services provided to you. 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 pilots.

You can expect to receive your invitation letter in about one week. For your convenience, you will be able to complete the survey online using your computer or mobile device such as a smartphone, or request a paper survey. The survey will be accessible through a web address or QR code provided on your invitation letter.

Your input will be extremely important. Participation is voluntary and your feedback is confidential. Your responses will be kept private to the extent provided by law. Your responses go directly to a contractor for removal of any personally identifiable information, before the FAA has access to the dataset. The data will not be used for any current certificate management purpose; and it will not be made available to companies or organizations outside of the FAA.

Thank you in advance for providing us feedback on FAA services. The feedback you provide will enable the FAA to better serve you and all pilots, while ensuring the safety of the National Airspace System.
