5.  Safety Alerts For Operators (SAFO) and Information For Operators (InFO) 

a. 

SAFOs contain important safety information that is often time-critical. A SAFO may contain information 

and/or recommended (non-regulatory) action to be taken by the respective operators or parties identified in the 

SAFO. The audience for SAFOs varies with each subject and may include: Air carrier certificate holders, air 

operator certificate holders, general aviation operators, directors of safety, directors of operations, directors of 

maintenance, fractional ownership program managers, training center managers, accountable managers at repair 

stations, and other parties as applicable. 

b. 

InFOs are similar to SAFOs, but contain valuable information for operators that should help them meet 

administrative requirements or certain regulatory requirements with relatively low urgency or impact in safety. 

c. 

The SAFO and InFO system provides a means to rapidly distribute this information to operators and can 

be found at the following website:
