Objectives of Foundation
Our primary objectives is to contribute to
the flight safety and enhancement of any
activities toward improvement and/or development
in the flight operation and maintenance.
Generally, the flight safety includes all
elements of design, manufacturing, operation,
maintenance, servicing and infrastructure
support that affect safe accomplishment of
the flight mission. However, our foundation
now centers on research and development activities
on the engineering aspects of flight operation,
aircraft maintenance as well as the relevant
operation and airworthiness regulations.
Besides the above, to disseminate flight
safety information and to exchange information
with organizations in other countries are
also among our activities.
Through those activities, enhancing the
flight safety and effective operation in
the air transport is our major role.
