What is included in the primary objectives of the USDA-FS Agency/DOI Bureau National Aviation Plan?

The primary objectives of the USDA-FS Agency/DOI Bureau National Aviation Plan focus on improving aviation safety standards. This emphasis on safety is crucial in the aviation sector, particularly for agencies involved in firefighting, search and rescue, wildlife management, and other missions that can put personnel and resources at risk. For these agencies, ensuring operational safety is a paramount concern, guiding training, operational practices, and regulatory compliance. The overall goal is to minimize accidents and incidents through rigorous safety protocols and continuous improvement in aviation operations.

While enhancing air travel efficiency, outlining budget allocations for flight operations, and regulating international practices are important aspects of aviation management, they do not align as directly with the core objectives of the National Aviation Plan established by these agencies, which prioritize safety above all else.
