Purpose:

This issuance establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and provides direction for developing, implementing, and maintaining the AHIRAPs of military flight operations quality assurance (MFOQA), Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP), and line operations safety audit (LOSA) in accordance with the authority in Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 5124.02 and the April 10, 2019 Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense Memorandum, and the guidance in DoD Instruction (DoDI) 6055.01. AHIRAPs prevent mishaps and strengthen a culture of accomplishing missions safely and effectively by:

• Allowing commanders and aircrew to identify and quantify risks and threats to flight operations that were previously unrecognized.

• Analyzing recorded aircraft systems data, flight performance data, self-reported data, and objective observations to identify threats and errors and develop solutions to mitigate those risks.
