The purpose of founding ASSA was to create and grow an organization focused on furthering airline security/safety with a distinct emphasis on factors directly impacting flight crews. We, the founders, are committed to the continual development of our personal and collective education and skills to provide the ability to develop original ideas and unique concepts to improve airline safety/security, human factors and CRM through coordinated teamwork. We commit to being relentless in our continual probing of airline safety/security issues for weaknesses, and then proposing realistic, attainable solutions for improvement.

We endeavor to make ASSA an international source of experienced and knowledgeable experts on airline security/safety issues, human factors, and CRM. To accomplish this goal we will:

Contribute our knowledge through published articles and books on airline security/safety issues, human factors, CRM and other important subjects.

Give presentations and interviews on airline security/safety issues, human factors and CRM for aircrews and/or other aviation professionals, as well other interested parties.

Develop courses of study for airline security/safety issues, human factors and CRM for aircrews and/or other professions.

Conduct research on airline security/safety, human factors and CRM issues.

Conduct quality assurance audits in areas of airline security, safety, and human factors.

In recognizing the magnitude of this effort, we commit to the development and encouragement of others who share our commitments as we strive to produce leaders in the fields of airline security/safety, human factors and CRM who will serve to perpetuate our endeavors in the decades to come.
