About ASAG

ASAG was organized as a non-profit corporation in 1972. Volunteer members represent all sectors of the aviation community to include the FAA, commercial, general and military aviation, including pilots, technicians, air traffic controllers, aircraft manufacturers, and airport operators. We meet regularly to discuss aviation safety issues and assist the Federal Aviation Administration in identifying accident trends, implementing educational programs for pilots and technicians, and preparing aviation safety articles for publication.

Our most visible community project is the annual Aviation Safety Awards Banquet where we recognize Arizona’s Flight Instructor of the Year, Maintenance Technician of the Year, Avionics Technician of the Year, Communication Air Traffic Control Facility/Individual of the Year, FAASTeam Representative of the Year, Ruth Reinhold Award, Airport Safety Award, and Designated Pilot Examiner Recognition.

Candidates for these prestigious awards are nominated by their peers within the industry, and winners are chosen to represent the state of Arizona in regional and national Federal Aviation Administration Safety Awards Programs.

Keep Saturday, November 6th open for the 2010 banquet.

Although not as widely publicised as the banquet, ASAG has sponsored an annual workshop and appreciation dinner for FASTeam Representatives (formerly Aviation Safety Counselors) for several years. For highlights of the 2009 version, select Workshop.
