Preface

Document Overview

The SAS External Portal User Guide presents conceptual, procedural, and reference information
for SAS External Portal users. The SAS External Portal enables certificate holders and applicants
(CH/A) to interact with their FAA Field Support District Office (FSDO) or Certificate Management
Office (CMO). The External Portal supports CH/As for CFR Parts 121, 135, and 145 certificates.
This guide is not a policy document. All procedures in this guide should be viewed as
instructions on how to work with the software and not as statements of FAA policies and
processes. FAA policies and processes pertaining to SAS can be found in Flight Standards
Information Management System (FSIMS), Order 8900.1, Volume 10.

Document Audience
This document is intended for current and prospective certificate holders operating under 14
CFR Parts 121, 135, and 145.

Document Conventions
The conventions used in this document are derived from the Microsoft Manual of Style for
Technical Publications. These include:
• Window, dialog, page, and tab screen names are capitalized and bold. Examples: "Next,
click the Select DCT tab."
• Button and link names are capitalized and bolded. Example: "To save and submit the form,
click Submit."
• Field, screen section, and table column names are bold. Their capitalization matches their
appearance in the application interface. Examples: "Verify the value in the Tracking
Number column."
7

• Statuses, states, and user roles are capitalized and italicized. Example: "The record’s status
changes to Accepted."
• List values, variables, and user input are shown in mono space font. Example: "Enter a
search string (for example, mysearchstring)."
• Information that requires particular emphasis (such as exceptions or common oversights)
is prefaced with the word Note in bold. Example: "Note: Your SAS User Name and
password are case-sensitive."

Terminology

FSDO, CHDO, and CMOs:
An FSDO (Flight Standard District Office) is an FAA district office. This primarily applies to FAA
offices with oversight of CFR Part 135 or 145 certificates.
A CHDO (Certificate Holder District Office) is an FSDO that has oversight responsibility for one
or more certificates.
A CMO (Certificate Management Office) is an FAA district office. This primarily applies to FAA
offices with oversight of CFR Part 121 certificates.
The term FSDO/CMO and CHDO are often used interchangeably. This document uses the term
as it appears on the associated screen or FSDO/CMO as a default.

Getting Help
If you require assistance with SAS please contact your FAA point of contact (typically the
Certification Project Manager or Principal Inspector). Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to the SAS External Portal, the SAS program, and some of
the major concepts you will encounter when using the application.

Introduction

The SAS Program

The Safety Assurance System (SAS) is the Flight Standards system for the certification,
surveillance, and oversight of CH/As operating under 14 CFR Parts 121, 135 and 145, in
accordance with Office of Aviation Safety (AVS) Safety Management System requirements. SAS
encompasses the people, processes, and technology that are involved in the safety management
of CH/As.
SAS promotes safety through:
8

• Initial certification,
• The assurance of continued operational safety (COS),
• Certificate Holder Evaluation Program (CHEP), etc.
It also provides flexibility for targeted oversight and resources where areas of highest risk exist.
SAS ensures overall safety of the operational systems of CH/As. It assesses both the design and
performance of these systems to ensure that CH/As effectively manage these systems and are
operating safely.
SAS’s systems are divided as airworthiness (AW) and operations (OP) specialties. Systems
assessed through SAS include (but are not limited to):
• Organizational Management (OP and AW)
• Flight Operations (OP only)
• Operational Control (OP only)
• Aircraft Technical Operations (AW only)
• On-Board Operations (OP only)
• Ground/Station Operations (OP and AW)
These systems include personnel, training programs, equipment, and facilities.

SAS System and Browser Requirements
It is recommended that you use Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Microsoft Edge to access SAS.
Beginning with SAS v3.2, access to SAS using Internet Explorer as a browser, will be blocked with
the message and screen below:

For older versions of SAS such as v3.0 and v3.1, you may still see the following warning message
when trying to access the application:

SAS is an HTML-5 application. It is supported on browser/operating system platforms that
support HTML5. At present, these include:

SAS External Portal Log-in and Navigation Features
This section will discuss a few log-in and navigation features in the External Portal that you may
find to be helpful.

2.3.1

System Use Notice and Privacy Act Statement

Every time you try to log into SAS external portal, below the SAS login box, you will see a brief
section called System Use Notice. Please read this section carefully as it pertains to consent
and authorized access of SAS, which is for U.S. Government use only.

Furthermore, below the System Use Notice, you will see the Privacy Act Statement. Please
read through the entire statement and make sure you agree and consent with the information
provided before accessing the SAS system. The Privacy Act Statement can be seen in the
image below.

2.3.2

Two Factor Authentication

SAS has the ability to provide additional security through two-factor authentication for both AFS
and AXH External Portal Users. After you log in from the External Portal log-in page with the
correct username and password, the SAS system will email you a message that contains a SAS
specific URL link and a respective key stored within. Now, click the URL contained in the email
message and reenter your username and password information one more time. The system will
now let you log in. This extra step provides an additional layer of protection in case your SAS
username or password ever becomes compromised.

2.3.3

Pop up screens and Transient Messages

Throughout SAS, when you may often see pop-up screens, warning messages, or status
notifications.
Some of the pop ups that you will encounter are Transient Messages which are green in color
like the example below. These typically appear for 5 secondsin the upper right corner of the
screen after certain actions are completed to inform you that a button was clicked or a status
was saved. Both AFS and AXH users will see transient messages throughout the application.

Note: Transient messages are not applicable to dialogue boxes, or boxes that required user’s
input (ie. “Yes/No” or “Ok/Cancel”), or dialog boxes that shows error messages from external
system, such as eFSAS.

2.3.4

Captcha Screen during Registration

When you first register for SAS, you will encounter a CAPTHA challenge at the external user
registration page. Enter the required registration information and provide a correct response to
the CAPTCHA challenge. Then click the Submit button. If you would like to refresh the
CAPTCHA challenge, click on the circular vortex icon to the right of the image and try again.
Alternatively, you may click on the sound icon to listen to the correct digits and letters, this is
useful if you are having trouble seeing the CAPTCHA lettering.

SAS Modules and Life Cycle

About the SAS External Portal
The SAS External Portal is a web browser-based application that allows CH/As to interact with
their local FSDO/CMO. SAS supports CH/As operating under 14 CFR parts 121, 135, and 145.
There are no role or privilege differences within the SAS External Portal. All registered users have
equal access to the system, its functionality, and data. Only data pertaining to your CH/A is
available to you. The FAA can view your data but other CH/As cannot.

What Can I Do in the SAS External Portal?
If you are an applicant for certification, you can use the SAS External Portal to:
• Submit Preapplication Information.
14

• Submit your responses to DCT questions and view FAA feedback on your responses.
• Submit required documentation.
• Manage the Schedule of Events (SOE) in coordination with FAA personnel who oversee
your application.
• View notifications and broadcast messages from the FAA.
• Message with the FAA regarding your CH/A (only once an FAA Certification Project
Manager (CPM) is assigned to your CH/A)

If you are a current certificate holder, you can use the SAS External Portal to:
• Manage the list of maintenance and training contractors that your company contracts
with.
• Request changes to the programs your company is authorized to perform through
configuration changes.
• Submit documentation to the FAA for review.
• View notifications and broadcast messages from the FAA.
• Message with the FAA PI regarding your CH/A.

About the SAS Master List of Functions
In SAS, a comprehensive, hierarchical Master List of Functions (MLF) defines how the FAA
organizes the areas in which it oversees safety. Individual systems are divided into subsystems
and elements.
For example, in this segment of the SAS MLF Ground and Station Operations constitutes
the system level. Cargo and Acceptance Handling is one of its subsystems. And finally,
Carriage of Cargo and Hazardous Materials are elements.
6.0 – Ground and Station Operations
6.3 – Cargo and Acceptance Handling
6.3.1 – (OP) Carriage of Cargo
6.3.2 – (OP) Hazardous Materials

Systems, subsystems, and elements are then associated with applicable regulations, guidance,
and system configuration attributes. Based on those associations, the FAA uses SAS to create
Data Collection Tools (or DCTs). DCTs are a group of questions used to provide data necessary
to complete the associated assessment of design or performance.

3 SAS Registration and Preapplication Information
This chapter describes how to access SAS, request and maintain your SAS account. This also
describes how a new CH/A can provide initial preapplication information to the FAA on the
proposed operations.

About the SAS Registration Process
To access and use the SAS External Portal, you must first submit a SAS registration request. Your
request will go through an approval process.
• You will need to provide an email address to submit a request for a SAS account. SAS then
sends you an automated email with a registration link. After clicking the link, SAS walks
you through the process of entering your registration information and your registration
request is sent for review to the FAA point of contact at your FSDO/CMO. The FAA reviews
the registration request and may approve the request, disapprove it, or request more
information.
•

If you do not already have an FAA ID, the FAA will send you links to go and apply for an
FAA ID through the FAA’s Provisioning System.

•

If you are already a registered user of other FAA applications you will use the same FAA
ID for SAS, but you must still register for SAS access.

• When your registration request is approved by the FAA, you will be notified via email.

Who Can Register?
To register for SAS, you should be associated with an FAA CH/A under 14 CFR Parts 121, 135, or
145. If your company has not already begun the certification process you will be required to
enter preapplication information as part of your registration request.

How to Register for Access to the SAS External Portal
Once you have completed the appropriate training on the SAS External Portal, navigate to
sas.faa.gov to begin the Registration process.

Select the Sign up for SAS hyperlink.

To begin, provide your name and email address and Submit. You will get an on-screen
confirmation.

You will receive an email response to continue the registration process. This email has a link
which is good for one use only and must be used within 24 hours. If your link expires before
you can use it, you must resubmit your registration request by going to the Sign Up for SAS link.
If your email does not arrive, 1) check your junk/spam folder; 2) resubmit your registration
request.
A browser window will open, displaying the SAS User Registration screen. There are three
options:
Option 1. You are a new certification applicant and Preapplication Information has not yet been
submitted for your company. The steps for this option follows immediately in Section 2.3.
Option 2. The Preapplication Information for your application has already been submitted. The
steps for this process are located in Section 2.4.
Option 3. Your company already hold a certificate. The steps for this process are located in
Section 2.5.

Getting Started Using SAS

This chapter describes features and functionality common throughout SAS.

About the SAS Home Page
When you log into the SAS External Portal, the SAS Home Page opens. The Home Page displays
communications between you and the FAA. Communications of different types (broadcasts,
messages, and notifications) are grouped into boxes called tiles. Maximize a tile to expand its
contents. The tile that is currently maximized displays on left side of the Home Page. Only one
tile at a time can be maximized. To maximize a different tile, click the maximize button which is
the icon on the top right of the tile. You can also double-click the tile's title bar. When you open
the Home Page, the Notifications tile is maximized by default.

About SAS Communications
SAS supports several different forms of communications:
• Broadcasts are alerts sent by FAA headquarters. They are used to communicate news of
general interest such as system downtime or the announcement of a new or changed
policy.
• Notifications are auto-generated by SAS and sent to inform users of updates to work
items or changes to their data. For example, if you are a user filing to be a certificate
holder you will receive a notification when your preapplication information is accepted.
• Messages are direct communications between you and your FAA points of contact. This is
similar to email inside of SAS.

About the SAS Menu
The SAS menu is the means to navigate between SAS screens. The menu is on the left side of
the SAS workspace.
To expand the menu, click on the SAS menu bar. To close the menu, click anywhere on the
screen.

To go to the SAS Home Page, select Home from the SAS menu.

Note: Your SAS Menu may be different. The items available are dependent on the status of
your certification (Applicant or Certificate Holder)

About Tabs
The majority of SAS pages organize information using tabs.
Often the tabs on a page constitute a mini-workflow; each tab supports a specific step in a
process and the tabs are arranged left to right in the order those steps are performed. Some
tabs may contain sub-tabs (as shown in the example below).
Tabs are color-coded, as follows:
• The currently selected tab is white.
• Non-current tabs which are enabled (accessible) are dark green.
• Non-current tabs which are disabled (not accessible) are pale green. Typically, when a tab
is disabled it is because it is part of a workflow and some action is required before you can
access it. For example, in the image below, a user must select a record from the Select
Configuration sub-tab before proceeding to other sub-tabs.

SAS Field Types
4.8.1

Required Fields

Most data entry pages in SAS contain at least some required fields. These are fields that must be
completed. Required fields are denoted by a red asterisk (*) to the left of their label.

In some cases, a field may be required only in certain contexts (for example, based upon input in
a preceding field). Fields are not marked with an asterisk until they become required. If you
attempt to save a screen with incomplete required fields, SAS identifies and prompts you to fill
in the incomplete fields.

4.8.2

List Boxes

A list box allows you to select a value from a list. To select a single item, click it.

4.8.3

Type-to-Search List Boxes

A type-to-search list does not display items until you type at least one character into the field.
The list displays all the items from the database that begin with the character(s) you typed.

There are several important notes regarding type-ahead lists:
• Type-ahead searches are not case-sensitive.
• To find an item, your entry must match a part of the item's string as it appears in the
database, including any special characters. For instance, entering dc-9 will find items that
contain the string DC-9; entering dc9 will not.
• In some cases, the items in the field you search for may have two parts (such as a first/last
name, or a designator code/company name). SAS will match your entry string against
either part. For example, entering hen will find both H+endricks, Tom and Smith, Henry.
• Some type-ahead fields may limit the number of items they return. If the string you enter
does not initially return the item you want, try a longer, more targeted entry.

• After typing in text to find the item you want, you must select it from the list; simply
typing in the item name is not sufficient.

4.8.4

Date Fields

All date fields in SAS are accompanied by a calendar icon that you can use to select the date.
Click the icon once to open the calendar. Click a date in the calendar to populate the date field
and close the calendar. Alternately, you can type dates directly into date fields. SAS requires the
format MM/DD/YYYY.

Note: At times you will not be allowed to put a date into the future or in the past. If that is the
situation, those dates will not be populated in the calendar.

4.8.5

Name Fields (Persons)

Person name fields in SAS always list the last name first. When using a name field to search for
an individual, enter the last name first. If you want to include the first name in the search,
separate it with a comma, for example, Smith, Steven.

Working with Tables
Much of the data presented in SAS is displayed in tables. There are a number of ways to
manipulate tables to display the data you want in the way you want to see it. You can:
• Filter and sort data

• Change column order
• Create data groupings

4.9.1

Filtering Table Data

By default, when a tab, screen or page with a table opens, SAS retrieves all records from the
database and displays the records one page at a time. Filtering after the initial retrieve lets you
narrow the scope of the data included in a table. There are two levels of filters: table-level and
column-level.

4.9.2

Using Table-Level Filters

Table-level filters appear above the table in the Search box. They apply to the table as a whole.
The search fields may or may not reflect column data that appears in the table.
To use table-level filters:
1. Enter the desired search criteria in the table's search fields.
• Multiple selections across filter fields use AND logic. Multiple selections within a
single filter field use OR logic.
• Entering no search criteria is the same as selecting all values for each of the search
criteria fields.
• If the search box includes a Keyword(s) field, SAS searches for the text you entered
in the record's text-based columns (for example, IDs, titles, descriptions, and so on).
65

To specify multiple keywords, separate them by either a comma or semi-colon. SAS
will return records that contain any of the keywords you enter.
• If necessary, to clear the Search form click the Reset button.
2. Click Search.

4.9.3

Using Column-Level Filters

Column-level filters are associated with individual columns in a table.
Note: If a table's data spans multiple pages, column-level filters only affect the currently
displayed page.
Note: There are both type-ahead filters and Select filters.
To use column-level filters:
1. In the column's header, enter the text you wish to filer on in the text box at the top of the
column.

Select enter and the column will filter on the entered text.

2. Alternatively, if there are selections to pick, click on the “Select” box and the options will
appear in a window.
66

To clear a filter, select the

icon.

4. To change the filter criteria, right click on the
change the filter criteria:

icon and a selection box will open to

The default is “Contains”.

4.9.4

Changing Column Order

You can change the position a column appears in a table by dragging its column header left or
right.

4.9.5

Creating Groups in Tables

Many tables in SAS let you group records according to the data in one or more columns. For
ease of viewing, these groups can be expanded or collapsed. For example, you can create
collapsible groups of notifications by whether Read?=No or Read?=Yes.

• To add grouping criteria, click on and drag each column header into the table's Grouped
By area. The Grouped By area is located at the top left of the table. The main grouping is
determined by the header at the left of the Grouped By area. Each successive header
becomes a sub-group within its parent. You can also re-arrange the order of headers in
the Grouped By area by dragging them right or left.
• To remove a column as a grouping criterion, drag its header out of the Grouped By area.
Or, while the header is still in the Grouped By area, click its X button.
68

• To expand a group, click its down arrow. To collapse it, click its up arrow.

4.9.6

Exporting Table Data

Many tables in SAS have an Export to Excel button that lets you export table data to an MS
Excel file. Exported data takes into account any filters you have applied to the data. All data in
the table is exported--not just the data on the currently displayed page.
To export table data:
1. Click Export to Excel. The Save As dialog box opens.
2. Specify a name for the exported file and select a location.
3. Click OK.

Working with File Attachments
Many SAS screens include an Attachments section that lets you attach supporting files to a
record. You can subsequently remove attached files, as necessary.

You can also include file attachments with messages you send in SAS.

4.10.1 File Size
The number of files that can be attached to a record at one time is 15. The collective size of
those files is 30 MB.
Note: There is no limit on the number and size of files that can be attached to a record
cumulatively. For example, you can attach 15 files totaling 30MB to a DCT, and then later in a
separate upload attach another 15 files totaling another 30 MB to that same DCT.

The dialog closes and the file name is displayed in the Attachments section.
3. Click Save.

To view an attached file:
1. In the screen's Attachments section, click the name of the file you want to view.
Note: Attachments can also be seen in Document Management.

To remove an attached file:
1. In the screen's Attachments section, check the boxes of the files you want to remove.

2. Click Delete.

Saving Data in SAS
With the exception of your responses to questions in the Perform DCT tab, SAS does not save
data automatically. To save changes on a SAS page, tab, or dialog box, you must initiate a save
by clicking a button on the screen. The button(s) may vary from screen to screen:
• A Save button saves data on the current page, tab, or dialog box only.

• A Submit button saves the current page or tab and moves the record to the next step in
the workflow.
• Some screens have both a Save and a Submit button. Where this occurs, the Save button
allows you to save the data in draft form without submitting it. Save in this context may
also omit certain data integrity checks--for example, completing all required fields--that
will be enforced when you submit. The expectation is that the data will eventually be
submitted after it is complete.

4.11.1 Unsaved Changes
Throughout SAS, when you try to navigate away from a page or tab with unsaved changes, SAS
displays a message alerting you to save.
Note: SAS will not warn you of unsaved changes when you exit the application (for example, by
closing your browser).

4.11.2 Wizards
SAS contains several wizards. A wizard is a series of screens that guide you through a multi-page
process, such as completing Preapplication Information. When you complete a particular screen
in a wizard, the Next button is enabled, allowing you to move to the next screen. In SAS, clicking
Next in a wizard does NOT save that screen's data. Data is only saved when you click Save or
Submit on the wizard's final screen.

Keyboard Navigation
SAS supports standard Windows keyboard navigation to navigate between fields and buttons
and to perform clicks. These include:

Use

Tab

To advance to the next field, button, or tab

Shift/Tab

To go back to the previous field, button, or tab

Space Bar or Enter Perform a mouse-click
Down Arrow

Scroll down through a drop-down list

Up Arrow

User Assistance
The following assistance is available to aid you in using SAS.

4.13.1 SAS Online Help
SAS includes full-featured online Help. Open it by clicking the ? button located in the top right
corner of your screen. SAS Help includes a Table of Contents (TOC), Search, and Glossary.

The Quick Search feature (located at the top of the Help window) searches the currently
displayed topic for the text you enter.

SAS Help is context-sensitive; when you click the Help button, SAS Help automatically opens at
instructions for the page, tab, or dialog box you are currently viewing.

Applicant cannot submit documents until a CPM is assigned by
the FAA.
For the Formal Application, there is a list of required
documents that all must be uploaded before it can be
submitted.

To upload a document, the applicant will get a
pop-up window which will allow the applicant
to browse to upload the document.

The applicant edits or enters additional
configuration data as necessary by navigating
to the Configuration Data page.

Configuration data includes Vitals, OpSpecs, and Contractors.
Configuration data cannot be submitted until a CPM is
assigned by the FAA.

Applicant Automation Steps

To generate DCTs, the applicant navigates to
the Certification Request page from the SAS
menu and clicks on Generate DCTs button at
the bottom of the page.
The applicant reviews and completes DCTs by
navigating to Data Collection from the SAS
menu or the Certification Item Summary
tab from Certification Request. The
applicant can resubmit DCTs as necessary
back and forth with the FAA CPM.

The applicant navigates to the Operating
Profile tab to review the Operating Profile
from the SAS menu or the Certification Item
Summary tab from Certification Request.

The applicant edits the Schedule of Events
(SOE) by navigating to the Schedule of
Events link on the SAS menu or the
Certification Item Summary tab.

Process Step Notes

DCTs cannot be submitted until a CPM is assigned by the FAA.
If the applicant chooses to complete the DCTs prior to
completing the Configuration Data, then the DCTs required for
the proper configuration could change and the user would
need to select Generate DCTs again.
A new applicant may need to talk with their FAA POC
regarding completing the proper Configuration Data to scope
the proper DCTs.

Applicant cannot submit SOE until a CPM is assigned by the
FAA.
Applicant must fill out either N/A or a planned date in every
row in order to be able to submit to the FAA.

Certification team
transitions the
application from Initial
Cert (N) status to
Precert (P) status. This
occurs with the
Acceptance of the
Formal Application.
The FAA team
members perform and
submit Design
Assessments (DAs).
They can also add and
complete Performance
Assessments (PAs)
and/or Custom DCTs.

Once an applicant has transitioned to a Precert (P) status, the
applicant can no longer withdraw the application. If they wish
to terminate the process, they will need to coordinate with the
FAA to have the FAA complete this process.

Applicant Automation Steps

FAA Automation
Steps

Process Step Notes

FAA can change
configuration data.

Once the applicant is in a P status, the applicant can no longer
make changes to configuration data and will need to be
coordinated with the FAA. The applicant will be able to
generate, complete, and submit DCTs until the CPM generates
a CAP.

CPM can generate the
CAP to move the
process so the
remainder is
completed by the FAA.

Once the CPM has received all of the applicant submitted
DCTs they need, the CPM can generate the CAP to move the
certification process along. When this occurs the applicant will
receive a notification. At this point, the applicant will no
longer be able to complete or submit DCTs.
Once the FAA has reviewed and completed all assessments for
the applicant, they complete the process to transition the
applicant from Precert (P) status to Active (A) status, issues
OpSpecs and notifies the CH/A that the certificate has been
issued.

About Configuration Data
A CH's configuration data is the set of unique characteristics or attributes that define what the
CH does.
Configuration data is grouped into three categories:
• Operations specifications are those paragraphs that provide the authorizations,
limitations, standards and procedures that are applicable to a specific CH under 14 CFR
Parts 121, 135, 145.

• Vitals include a broad description of air operator or air agency operational data.

Note: See the Vitals Data Fields lists in the Appendices of this document for descriptions of all of
the configuration data Vitals fields. It will be located in Appendix A, B, C, or D for CFR Part 121,
135, 121/135, and 145 respectively.
• Contractors include information about service providers that the company contracts with.

How to Add and Update Configuration Data
When your Preapplication Information has been accepted, you will receive a notification on your
Home page to provide your Configuration Data. Configuration Data describes your proposed
operations and includes items such as fleet composition, route structure, and operations
specifications. If you are applying for a Part 145 repair station certificate, it includes your
proposed ratings and capabilities list. The Vitals section of your Configuration Data will be prepopulated with information from your Preapplication Information and you will need to enter
additional information that was not provided in that form. After you provide your Configuration
Data, SAS generates the Operating Profile (CHOP)

About the Operating Profile
Every CH/A has an Operating Profile. The operating profile is the list of assessments that the FAA
conducts as a part of the oversight of the CH/A. The content of a CH/A's operating profile is
determined by the configuration data (Operations Specifications and Vitals).
Based on a CH's configuration data, SAS creates the Operating Profile, also referred to as the
Certificate Holder Operating Profile or CHOP.
THE CHOP HAS 2 PANES THAT DISPLAY:
• Summary details of that assessment (purpose, objective, and the regulations/guidance
statements it addresses)
• The individual questions that make up the assessment. For each question you can view: 1)
its scoping rule and, 2) the regulations/guidance statements the question addresses.

6.3.1

How to Access the Operating Profile

Use the Operating Profile tab to view the operating profile. There are two different ways to
view an operating profile:
• Baseline operating profile view - The baseline operating profile represents the current, inuse operating profile.
• Configuration change operating profile view – The configuration change operating profile
view represents the operating profile resulting from an open configuration change.

6.3.2

How to Access a Baseline Operating Profile View

The baseline operating profile represents the current, in-use operating profile. To access a
baseline operating profile view:
94

1. From the SAS menu, select Configuration > Operating Profile. The Operating Profile
tab opens.
2. The tab displays the baseline operating profile. This can be confirmed by looking at the
top of the screen at Status: Baseline.

In addition to the list of assessments that make up the operating profile, for each assessment
the Operating Profile tab lets you view:
• Summary details of that assessment (purpose, objective, and the regulations/guidance
statements it addresses)
• The individual questions that make up the assessment. For each question you can view: 1)
its scoping rule and, 2) the regulations/guidance statements the question addresses.

6.3.3

The Operating Profile Tab Left Pane

The left pane of the Operating Profile tab lists the assessments. This will be filtered by
Specialty and Assessment Type.

By default the left pane filters the list of assessments on only those that are currently included
based upon your Configuration Data. If you wish to see those that are not currently included in
your configuration, you can change the filter on the column labelled Incl.

6.3.4

The Operating Profile Tab Right Pane

The right pane of the Operating Profile tab displays either:
• A summary of the assessment selected in the left pane (this is the default view) via the
Summary View
• The questions that make up the assessment selected in the left pane via the Question
View

While in the Question View you can click a question's eye icons to view the scoping rule (the
configuration data that SAS uses to include or exclude the question), and its SRRs (Specific
Regulatory Requirements that apply to the question).

are purged from the eFSAS database. In such cases, if the certificate whose designator code has
been purged is still listed as a contractor in SAS it will be displayed with a light red background.
These contractors must first be deleted from SAS to allow it to write contractor data to eFSAS.

117

6.6.8

Contractor Data and Change Requests

When you save changes on the Contractor tab, SAS automatically creates a new configuration
data change request for you. The Change Request will have a title similar to Auto generated
contractor CR for . If an open (unsubmitted) contractor change request already exists,
SAS will append any subsequent changes to it rather than create a new change request.
How to View the Maintenance Provider Listing Report
You can open a report showing summary data for a CH/A's contractors directly from the
Contractors tab. To open it, click Generate Report.

Configuration Changes

This chapter describes how to submit configuration changes to the FAA as an active certificate
holder (CH).

About Configuration Changes
The Configuration Change is the process by which changes are made to a CH's configuration
and contractor data.
The process includes a submission, review, and approval/return of proposed changes. The
review process allows the CH and FAA to see how the proposed changes will impact the
operating profile.
Once a configuration change is approved, the certificate holder's operating profile is
regenerated to reflect the new information.

7.1.1

Types of Configuration Changes

There are several different types of configuration changes in SAS:

Configuration Data Changes:
Configuration Data change requests involve changes to a certificate's Vitals and/or Operations
Specifications (OpSpecs).
Limitations on Configuration Data Change Requests

118

Multiple configuration change requests against the same data are not permitted. While it is
permissible to have multiple change requests open at one time for a certificate holder, SAS does
not allow concurrent change requests that include a change to the same:
• Operations Specification
• Field on the Vitals tab – for example, if you have an open configuration change to
update the number of employees and number of PIC Captains, you cannot make
another configuration change to change the total number of employees and
number of Certified Mechanics because the Total Number of Employees is locked in
the first configuration change.
• Table on the Vitals tab – for example, if you have an open configuration change to
change the PAX Approved / Cargo field for one type of aircraft, you cannot make a
change to any of the aircraft data for a different type of aircraft.
If there is a Configuration Data change request in a Draft, Submitted, Returned, or In Review
state, and a second one is attempted, the user will get an error message. To correct this, the first
Configuration Data change request must be approved by the PI or withdrawn before the second
can be saved. Except for the examples above, there is no limit to the number of concurrent
Configuration Data change requests you can create.

Contractor Data changes: Contractor Data change requests are created when a change to a

certificate holder's contractor data is made. The change could include adding a new contractor,
deleting a contractor, or editing a particular contractor's data. Contractor Data change requests
can be created in the External Portal by a certificate holder, or in the Internal Portal by the FAA.
Limitations on Contractor Data Change Requests
• There can only be one Contractor Data change request open per certificate holder
at a time.

7.1.2

Configuration Data Change Requests
How to Create a Configuration Data Change Request
1. Select the Configuration Changes hyperlink from the SAS menu.
2. On the Select Configuration tab under Configuration Changes, select the Add
Request button. This will open the Change Request Detail tab.

119

3. Enter a Change Request Title. The Change Request ID will be automatically
populated. Enter a description. Other fields can be filled in as necessary.
Additionally, documents can be uploaded using the Attach Document button. (Any
documents uploaded here will be available in the Configuration Changes file in
Document Management).

4. Select to Save the Configuration Data change. If you choose to submit, there will be
a message confirming this request should be submitted along with confirmation
this has been submitted.
When you elect to save the Configuration Data change it will be in a Draft status.

120

• The configuration data version changes from Baseline to the title of the
change request.
• The status of the request changes to Draft and the request is now listed on
the Configuration Change Requests sub-tab. You can select it from the list
to resume working on it.
• The Configuration Data tab becomes editable. You can now make the
changes to Operations Specifications and/or Vitals that make up the change
request. After making changes on either of those tabs, click Save to save your
work.
If you submit the Configuration Data change it will be in a Submitted status.
5. Navigate to the Configuration Data tab and edit Operations Specifications and/or
Vitals, as necessary, and Save.
6. When you have made all necessary changes, navigate back to the Change Request
Details tab. There are two buttons at the bottom of the screen that will show the
number of changes for OPSS and/or Vitals. By selecting on those buttons, you can
review a summary of the changes.

Note: The Current Value column in the pop-up window always shows the current (baseline)
value for a field.
7. Select to Submit or Withdraw the Configuration Data change. If you choose to
submit, there will be a message confirming this request should be submitted along
with confirmation this has been submitted. If you submit the Configuration Data
change it will be in a Submitted status.
If you withdraw the change, the Configuration Data change will be in a Withdrawn status.
8.

Review the impact of the configuration change in the Recommended Questions
tab. You can filter the modified Operating Profile to see which DCTs and questions
were added, deleted, or modified. By default, all DCTs included in the Operating
Profile are listed. To filter, open the filter for the Change column and choose the
filter(s) desired: Added, Excluded, Modified, Deleted.

121

The questions on the right pane can also be filtered to show those questions that have are
Added, Included, or Excluded by selecting the Change filter and selecting those desired.
The table below summarizes the meanings of the various Change statuses in the left and right
panes of the Recommended Questions tab:
Left Pane (DCTs)

Right Pane (Questions)

Data Collection

The Data Collection Tools module in SAS lets you view, enter and submit necessary Data
Collection Tools (DCTs) to FAA, as part of the Initial Certification process and/or the
Configuration Change process. A DCT is a survey consisting of questions designed to test a
target system for safety and compliance. There are different DCTs targeting different design
aspects of the system. For example, there may be a DCT for your record keeping system and
another for your deicing program.
In performing a DCT, you will go through a list of questions and answer each one of them and
check for completeness before you submit the DCT to FAA. Any negative findings are evaluated
for risk.

How to Select a DCT for Data Collection
1. From the SAS menu, select Data Collection Tools. The Select DCT tab opens.

• The list of DCTs includes columns for Label, Title, DCT Status, Specialty and
optional columns for Status Date, # Questions and # Completed.
• Click the Optional Columns and select to include the selected optional column(s) in
the table. Click the Optional Columns and select Hide to it again to hide the
column(s).
• By default, all DCTs that are applicable to your initial certification or the
configuration change will appear in the table, regardless of their status. Possible
DCT statuses are: Not Started, Draft, Validated, Submitted, In Review, Final, and
Returned.
• The default sort order of the DCTs in the table is ascending by Label, followed by
Title, # of Question, # Completed, and DCT Status. You can change the sort order
in the table by clicking on the appropriate column heading.

124

2. Click the label or title of the DCT you wish to view or work on. Or select the DCT row in
the table and click on the Prepare DCT tab. This opens the Prepare DCT tab for you to
prepare for data collection.

125

Data Collection Tools (DCTs)

The Data Collection Tools module in SAS lets you view, enter and submit Element Design (ED)
Data Collection Tools (DCTs) to the FAA as part of the Initial Certification process. A DCT consists
of questions designed to evaluate a target system for safety and compliance. There are different
DCTs targeting different design aspects. For example, there may be a DCT for your record
keeping system and another for your deicing program.
In performing a DCT, you will go through a list of questions, answer each one of them, and
check for completeness before you submit the DCT to FAA. All findings are evaluated for risk.

How to Access Your Data Collection Tools
To access the Data Collection Tools page, from the SAS menu select Data Collection Tools. Or
from the SAS Home Page click on the Data Collection hyperlink from a notification.

126

When are DCTs Performed?
During ongoing certificate management, DCTs are used to approve or accept new or changed
programs. DCTs verify that your systems are designed to meet the intent of regulatory
requirements during new program reviews, performance issues, FAA-initiated change, or when
the FAA determines the need.
DCTs are only available in SAS Data Collection when the FAA determines a need as a part of a
configuration change request and send the appropriate DCT(s) via the External Portal. These will
show up in the Data Collection module and you will receive a notification.

How to Generate DCTs
Once you have entered your configuration data, you can then generate and perform your DCTs.
Generating DCTs is what causes them to appear in your Data Collection Tools list. You can
generate and complete DCTs before FAA has assigned a CPM to your certification project, but
you cannot submit them until the CPM has been assigned.
Note: Any time a change is made to the Configuration Data or CHOP, you must re-generate the
DCTs to ensure you have the DCTs and questions appropriate for your design configuration. See
section 4.9.2.1.
Note: Generating DCTs pertains to initial certification only. While you may be requested to
perform DCTs after your certificate is active (e.g., if your configuration data changes), those DCTs
will appear automatically in your DCT list without action on your part.
To generate your DCTs:
1. From the SAS menu, select Certification Request. The Certification Request tab opens.

127

2. In the lower left part of the screen, click Generate DCTs.

3. SAS generates your DCTs. When the process is complete SAS displays a confirmation
message. Click OK. You can now proceed to Data Collection Tools to perform your DCTs.
128

Note: After you generate your DCTs, the Generate DCT button is disabled until a change is made to your

configuration.

About Regenerating DCTs
If you change Configuration Data you may need to regenerate your DCTs to allow SAS to
update the DCTs and questions that apply to your application. The DCTs are generated based
upon information in the Configuration Data including Operating Specifications and Vitals and
that is why when changes are made in Configuration Data, it is important to regenerate the
DCTs.
When you regenerate DCTs:
• Any new DCTs now required as a result of your configuration data change are added to
your list of DCTs.
• Any DCTs no longer needed as a result of your configuration data change are removed
from your list of DCTs.
• Existing DCTs that are not impacted by the change to your configuration data remain in
place. Previously answered questions in the DCT retain their answers.
• Existing DCTs with individual questions impacted by the change to your configuration
data remain in place. Impacted questions within the DCT are added, removed, or have
their answers removed, as appropriate. Previously answered questions in the DCT not
impacted by the change retain their answers.
Note: Once you submit your completed DCT package to the FAA, you cannot regenerate DCTs
unless and until the FAA has returned them to you.
At a certain point in your certification process, when the FAA ready to move to a subsequent
phase, they will take action on their SAS application which will prevent you from completing or
submitting DCTs. You will get a notification on your Home page when this has occurred.

The Schedule of Events (SOE)
The Schedule of Events (SOE) is a list of the major events that will take place during the
certification process, and the dates associated with their completion. The SOE is a collaborative
process between the applicant and the FAA. The events that appear on the SOE vary according
to the 14 CFR Part the applicant is seeking certification for. The SOE allows the applicant and
FAA to track the progress of events in the initial certification process.
The steps for completing and submitting the SOE differs for the original and revised versions of
the form.

9.20.1 SOE Statuses
SOE indicates its current state of completion. There are statuses for both the Schedule of
Events form as a whole, and for individual events on the list.

N/A

The event does not pertain to the applicant.

9.20.2 How to Complete and Submit an Initial SOE
The first step in completing the SOE is for the applicant to propose a date for each event on the
form. The dates are then reviewed by the FAA which either accepts them or requests revision.
Note: Before an applicant can submit an SOE, the FAA must have assigned a Certification Project
Manager to the application. Until that time, the Submit button for the Schedule of Events tab
is disabled.

To complete an initial SOE
1. From the SAS menu, select Schedule of Events. The Schedule of Events tab opens.

151

2. For each event provide an original proposed date in Original Proposed Date (Appl).
When you click in the block a calendar control appears. You can use this or type in a date
using MM/DD/YYYY format. This automatically populates the Event Status block with
Planned. This proposed date should represent the date you realistically expect to be able
to complete the event.
If the list contains items that do not apply, you can set the value in Event Status to N/A by
clicking in the Event Status block and selecting N/A from the drop-down options. Events with
the status N/A do not require a date.

Use the Comment column to provide notes for the FAA reviewer. If you entered N/A for an
event, you can explain why it is not applicable in this block.

9.20.3 Saving and Submitting the SOE
• To save the data without submitting it to the FAA, click Save. You will be able to
resume editing the form.
• To Save the data and submit it to the FAA for review, click Submit. Once the form is
submitted, you cannot edit it until /unless the FAA returns it to you for modification.

9.20.4 How to Update and Submit a Revised SOE
Once an applicant has submitted its initial SOE, the dates are reviewed by the FAA. Based on the
review the FAA can:
• Approve and baseline the proposed dates
• Return the form to the applicant with instructions to revise one or more dates. (Even if all
dates are approved, the FAA may subsequently return the form if an original proposed
date for an event has passed and the event has not been completed.)
152

9.20.5 To Revise the SOE
1. From the SAS menu, select Schedule of Events. The Schedule of Events tab opens.
2. For each event that needs to be revised (i.e. does not have Baseline or N/A in Event
Status), in Current Proposed Date enter a new proposed date.
3. If an event was proposed as N/A and was returned (the Event Status says Returned)
you can enter a proposed date in the Original Proposed Date (Appl) as this is the original
date you are proposing to the FAA.
4. You can read any FAA provided comments and add your own as necessary.

9.20.6 To Save or Submit the Revised SOE
• To save your data without submitting it to the FAA, click Save. You will be able to
continue editing the form.
• To save your data and submit it to the FAA for review, click Submit. Once the form
is submitted, you cannot edit it until /unless the FAA returns it to you for
modification.

• Your certification request, along with any data and files related to it, is immediately
removed from the system.

154

• Your SAS External Portal user account associated with that CH/A is removed.
To withdraw a request, it must be in the Initial-Cert (N) status. Once your request enters Pre-Cert
(P) status, if you want your request withdrawn, contact your FAA CPM to have it terminated.
Note: Withdrawing a certification request is not reversible. If you later decide to proceed with
the request again, you must register for SAS again and repeat all initial certification steps.
To withdraw a certification request:
1. From the SAS menu, select Certification Request. The Certification Request tab opens.

10 Document Management
As part of initial certification there are documents you must submit to the FAA for review and
approval. You manage the upload and submission of these documents through the Document
Management page.
On the Document Management page you can:
• Upload required and supporting initial certification documents
• Submit initial certification documents to the FAA for approval
• View an initial certification document's current status (in the review process)
• If necessary, re-submit new versions of an initial certification document
In addition to initial certification documents, Document Management also stores and allows
you to view files you have attached to DCTs and change requests completed when in an active
status.

About the Document Management Page
To open the Document Management page, from the SAS menu, select Document
Management. The page consists of two parts.

158

The left side of the page displays the folders in which files are stored:
• The Formal Application folder is where you upload those documents that make up the
formal certificate application.
• The Other Certification folder is for uploading documents that support the certification
process but are not part of the formal application.
• The Configuration Changes and Data Collection folders are read-only; you cannot add
to or modify their contents in Document Management. Files added in the Configuration
Changes or Data Collection modules will appear in these folders.
The right side of the page lists the documents in the currently selected folder. For each
uploaded document, SAS lists its category, file name, date submitted, date uploaded, version
number, and comments entered during the most recent upload.
The document list side of the page is where actions pertaining to document management take
place. You can:
• View the latest version of an uploaded document
• View a document's version history
• Upload a new document (or new version of an existing one)
• Submit (or re-submit) a document to the FAA for review

Auto-Filed Documents
In SAS you can attach files to a number of different areas (configuration changes, data
collection, etc.). Depending on the record type, SAS will automatically store any attachments in
Document Management. The following attachments are stored in Document Management:

Moving and Deleting Documents
You cannot remove a document once it has been submitted. You cannot move documents
between folders. Should either of these actions become necessary, contact your FAA
representative.

Formal Application Documents
Documents that make up the formal application (and therefore uploaded to the Formal
Application folder), are processed as follows:
160

• You upload the formal application documents as a part of the certification process. If
necessary, you can re-upload a new version of a previously uploaded document. When all
required documents are ready for review, submit them to the FAA.
• Once submitted, the FAA conducts a preliminary review of submitted documents. Based
on that review the FAA may issue an initial approval of the documents or return them to
you for correction and resubmission.
• Each 14 CFR part has a list of required documents that must be submitted as part of the
Formal Application document submission.
• The Formal Application folder document category lists are updated based on policy.
• Required documents are denoted in the Formal Application folder with a red asterisk.

Other Documents Supporting the Application Process
Other documents supporting the application process but not required for the package
submission can be uploaded to the Other Certification folder. These pass through a simpler
review process. They can be uploaded and submitted on an individual basis.

Submitting Documents
When an applicant submits an uploaded document two things happen:
• The document is accessible to FAA review
• SAS automatically notifies the FAA that the document is ready to review
Required documents, documents required as part of the formal application process must be
submitted collectively Once all the required documents are uploaded to SAS the Submit button
for the Formal Application folder (on the Document Management page) is enabled to allow
submission to FAA.

10.7.1 Resubmitting Documents
Once documents have been submitted all the documents will be marked with Submitted status.
After documents are submitted they cannot be uploaded, deleted, or resubmitted until the they
are returned from FAA.
If a set of documents is returned the document’s status will change to Returned. SAS will send a
notification to the Notification widget on your Home page upon return. Once the set is returned
the user can revise the set of documents in order to resubmit to FAA. This process can go back
and forth as long as necessary.

How to View a File's Version History
Document Management maintains a version history of files uploaded to:
• Formal Application
• Other Certification
A new version history is created whenever you or a CH/A upload a file whose name and file type
is identical to one already in the target folder. For each upload of a given file, its version history
stores:
• The uploaded version of that file.
• Upload details such as the uploader's name and the upload date/time.
• An automatic system version number, starting at 0.1 and progressing as 0.2, 0.3 and so on.
This number is independent of the optional version number you can enter when you
upload a file.
Note: Case-sensitivity is not considered in determining if a file name is unique.
Note: If you delete a file its entire version history is deleted with it.
To view a file's version history:
1. In Document Management, open the folder containing the file you want to view.
2. Check the box to the left of the file.
3. Click View History. The Document Version History dialog box opens.

4. To view a particular version of a file, click its System Version link.

AXH Passenger Module

SAS provides an external interface that allows air carriers to enter discovered hazardous material
discrepancies involving passengers directly in the system.

About AXH Passenger Module

The system allows FAA users to enter information received from a certificate holder and
generates a tailored letter that informs and educates airline passengers who were found with
hazardous materials in checked baggage about the hazardous materials discovered in their

12 AXH RESTful Web API
Summary
The purpose of this implementation document is to provide implementation/integration
information for carriers to report passenger discrepancies from their systems to FAA (AXH) using
the RESTful Web services. SAS AXH exposes RESTful Web API services for this purpose.
To do this, the air carriers will need to invoke two RESTful web services from their systems. One
to request authorization and one to submit the actual discrepancies.
Prerequisites
In order to use this Web API, carrier is required to have an approved and active external user
account with FAA. If needed a separate external user account can be created/registered with
FAA just for using this Web API, which would go through the normal process of
registering/creating a new external user account.
Implementation
This is a two-step process which involves authentication and authorization and reporting
discrepancies. Both request and response data will be in JSON format.

Request Authorization
To request authorization to report discrepancies, a request to obtain authorization needs to be
submitted.
The request for authorization has to be made by using valid external user credentials (login user
name and password) which has been previously authorized/approved in the SAS External portal.
The result will be a one-time token, to be used to report discrepancies.
This would be accomplished by making the POST request to the RESTful service using the URL
below:
https://sas.avs.faa.gov/sas.external.portal/services/configuration/axhonetimetoken
The request should contain below information.
Request Header
The web service request will need following header information:
Key
Value
Content-Type
application/json
Accept
application/json
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
*
Cache-control
no-cache, no-store
Pragma
no-cache

183

Request Body
The body should include external user credentials and will need to be in the following JSON
format:
{
“username”: “”,
“password”: “”
}
Response
The response will be a JSON object with three key-value pairs.
• access-token
This will be the token generated by the system that will need to be used to report
discrepancies.
This token will expire after one use. Even if the subsequent web service returns with a
server error, another token will need to be generated for any new request.
•

expires_in
Token validity time. The value is in seconds.

•

errorMessage
If something went wrong with the authorization request, an error message will be returned
in the errorMessage value.

Note: The token cannot be requested while a user is logged in using the same credentials in the
SAS External Portal. The request of the token will block the user from logging in and the logged
in user will block the request of the Authorization Token.

Report Discrepancies
In order to submit discrepancies, a request for authorization has to be made. Then, with the
resulting access token, subsequent request can be made to submit passenger discrepancy data.
This is a one-time access token, which means even if the request to submit discrepancy data is
unsuccessful, the token will become invalid. So a new request for authorization will have to be
submitted for reporting discrepancy data.
To report discrepancies a POST request to SAS RESTful web service should be made using the
URL below:
https://sas.avs.faa.gov/sas.external.portal/services/configuration/axhsubmitdiscrepancies
The request should contain below information.
Request Header
The web service will need the following headers:
184

Key
Content-Type
Accept
Access-Control-Allow-Origin
Cache-control
Pragma
Authorization

Value
application/json
application/json
