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.
