Purpose, in the publication’s words

3.1.1. ASAP is an identity protected, self-reporting program designed to encourage and simplify the reporting of hazards and errors that increase the risk experienced in flight operations. Submissions augment existing safety reporting programs by capturing self- reported issues and events not normally disclosed through traditional mishap prevention programs. 3.1.2. ASAP hazard and error reporting involve Airmen, Guardians, and leaders in the aviation mishap reduction process. This occurs through report submissions, analyzing the resulting information for trends, educating personnel, and developing and implementing risk reduction or mitigation strategies. By enhancing situational awareness and improving risk management, ASAP hazard reporting protects people, preserves aircraft, maximizes efficiency, and improves readiness. 3.1.3. Airmen and Guardians have several avenues to report hazards they encounter or observe.
