continue using any effective, responsive system they prefer for reporting hazardous conditions. HARP pro- vides a simple reporting portal that promptly guides users through the reporting steps and ensures that vital safety information is shared with stakeholder operators in the most expedient manner possible. “HAI will handle all HARP submissions with the utmost care and respect for individual and operator pri- vacy. We are working directly with NASA in an effort to develop strict protocols for secure processing and trans- fer of HARP submissions into NASA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS),” adds Hill. Any HARP submissions that might be forwarded to
the ASRS would retain 14 CFR 91.25 protections, which prohibit the use of ASRS reports in any disciplinary action, except for information concerning accidents and criminal offenses. The HAI staff is still working to improve HARP. The program is essentially HARP 1.0, though it is far from a beta-test version of the program. Interested pilots should visit
