Michigan's Pentastar Aviation has enrolled in the Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) offered by the Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF). Pentastar joined the ACSF in May 2018.

“The focus of every employee at Pentastar is on the safety and security of our passengers," says VP and flight ops director Robert Rufli. "It is the cornerstone of our entire operation. Through active participation in the ASAP, our pilots contribute important safety-related information that may identify precursors to aviation incidents, thereby enabling identification of any potential risks in our operations so that we can develop and implement appropriate mitigations. The programme fosters a voluntary, cooperative, non-punitive environment for the reporting of safety-of-flight concerns.”

ASAP encourages employees of certificate holders or other operators to voluntarily report safety information that may otherwise go unreported, and may be critical to identifying potential precursors to incidents. The information submitted is analysed for safety-related concerns, root cause analysis, and development and implementation of corrective action, which the FAA determines essential to further reducing the incident rate.

Besides membership in the ACSF and voluntary participation in ASAP, Pentastar Aviation utilises a robust SMS and has a well-documented emergency response plan.
