Our members include FAA and DoD Systems Specialists, Aviation Safety Inspectors and safety support staff, along with Flight Inspection Pilots, Procedures Development Specialists, Airborne Technicians, and aircraft maintenance and staff support from the FAA’s Office of Aviation System Standards and Manufacturing Inspectors and safety support staff from Manufacturing Inspection District Offices.
What Do PASS Members Do?
Systems Specialists: Airway Transportation Systems Specialists (ATSS) install, repair, maintain, operate, and certify the complex systems used in air traffic control and national defense. They are the only people authorized to certify the operation and safety of FAA systems and equipment. There are nearly 6,000 Systems Specialists who maintain more than 40,000 pieces of equipment at over 6,000 locations.
Aviation Safety Inspectors are responsible for ensuring safety standards by developing, administering and enforcing regulations and standards concerning civil aviation safety. Some 2,800 inspectors and field support staff achieve their objectives through certification, surveillance, education partnerships with industry and oversight of all private and commercial aircraft, air agencies, air carriers, airmen and repair facilities. They perform more than 750,000 safety inspections each year.
