(1) The “Total Safety Report” initiative is aimed at identifying potential risk factors early to keep all safety
activities within a reasonable and practical range.

(2) Promote the “Procedure, Step, Guidelines” format to be adopted for all flight and maintenance

activities so that a culture of excellence in flight safety can be cultivated.

(3) Improve flight and ground safety performance by continuing to conduct safety audits at each service
squadron and brigade.

2. Continue Promoting Fleet Renewal Operations

(1) Maintenance strategy

① Enforce oversight of the contractor-supported fleet to ensure the quality of aircraft
maintenance and carry out airborne rescue missions.
