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:
